EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in 1917, captures the unique multicultural landscape of Baghdad during the First World War. The city, described by The Illustrated London News as a "city of Arabs, Jews and Persians where Turks were few and mostly officials," is depicted here in all its splendor. The government buildings, including the grand palace, stand proudly in the background, a testament to the Ottoman Empire's rich history in Mesopotamia (now modern-day Iraq). The bustling streets are filled with picturesque pedestrians, a melting pot of diverse ethnicities and cultures, going about their daily business. The absence of Turks, save for a few officials, underscores the shifting political dynamics of the region during this period. The Middle East was on the brink of significant change, with the Ottoman Empire in decline and the seeds of new nations being sown. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into a pivotal moment in history, when the old order was giving way to the new, and the city of Baghdad, with its vibrant mix of communities, was at the heart of it all. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the complex and intriguing history of the Middle East, a history that continues to shape the world we live in today.
