EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a side view of Whiteley Bridge in Basra, Iraq, dating back to the years between 1918 and 1939. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its historical significance. This photograph is part of a postcard album from the early 20th century, providing us with a glimpse into the past. The bridge itself stands as a testament to architectural beauty and craftsmanship. Constructed entirely out of wood, it gracefully spans over Ashar Creek, connecting two sides of the city. Against the backdrop of Basra's picturesque river, this footbridge served as an essential crossing point for locals during that time. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a lone man standing on the bridge's pedestrian path. Dressed in traditional Middle Eastern attire, he represents one among many who traversed this historic landmark daily. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and character to the scene while emphasizing its vintage charm. As we contemplate this rare piece from history captured by The Print Collector, we are transported back to an era where simplicity met grandeur amidst everyday life in Basra. Let us cherish these glimpses into our shared heritage and appreciate how they connect us across time and space.
