EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing view of Baghdad from a block tower, taken in 1918 during World War I. The image showcases the city's stunning landscape, with its iconic dome-shaped buildings and intricate architecture. Mesopotamia, which was formerly part of the Turkish Ottoman empire, had come under British military control just a few months prior to this photograph being taken. The 31st British general hospital can be seen in the foreground, serving as a reminder of the turmoil and devastation caused by war. This image not only documents an important historical moment but also provides us with a glimpse into life in Iraq during this time period. It is fascinating to note that Iraq as we know it today came into existence three years after this photograph was captured. The birth of this new nation in 1921 marked an era of change and transformation for Mesopotamia. Preserved by The Print Collector, this remarkable piece offers us an opportunity to reflect on the impact of war on cities and countries while appreciating the beauty that still remains amidst chaos. It serves as a powerful testament to our shared history and reminds us of both the resilience and fragility of nations caught up in global conflicts like World War I.
