EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a serene view of the Tigris River from the 31st British general hospital in Baghdad, Mesopotamia during World War I in 1918. Mesopotamia, once part of the Turkish Ottoman empire, had fallen under British military control by October 1918. The image showcases the right bank of the Tigris River, highlighting its significance as a geographical feature in this region. The landscape is beautifully depicted with an air of tranquility amidst the chaos of war. The river's calm waters reflect the surrounding cityscape and create a sense of serenity against the backdrop of conflict. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst turmoil, nature continues to thrive. It also symbolizes historical significance as it was taken just three years before Iraq emerged as an independent nation in 1921. The establishment of Iraq marked a turning point for this region and set forth new beginnings for its people. The photographer remains unknown but their work has been preserved by Heritage Images, allowing us to appreciate this snapshot from history over a century later. Through this monochromatic lens, we are transported back to an era where war and peace coexisted on opposite banks of one mighty river - forever frozen in time through this remarkable print.
