EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of an old ruin on the banks of the majestic Tigris River in Mosul, Mesopotamia. Taken in 1918, during a time when Mesopotamia was under British military control following its liberation from the Turkish Ottoman empire, this image offers a glimpse into a bygone era. The architectural feature depicted here showcases intricate details and hints at the grandeur that once defined this ancient land. The archway stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage that permeates every corner of Iraq. As we gaze upon this monochrome landscape, we are transported back in time to witness the remnants of a civilization long past. The ruins stand proudly against the backdrop of nature's beauty, reminding us of both resilience and impermanence. It is fascinating to contemplate how this scene has changed over time. From being part of an empire to becoming an independent nation known as Iraq in 1921, these ruins have witnessed significant historical events unfold before their weathered walls. Through this photograph by an unknown creator, we are invited to reflect on our connection with history and appreciate the enduring legacy left behind by those who came before us. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst decay and destruction, there is beauty waiting to be discovered.
