EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of The Strand, Basra, during the early 20th century. With its unknown creator, this image captures the essence of a bygone era in Iraq's history. The scene showcases a vibrant cityscape with an intricate bridge spanning across a river. The busy waterway is filled with canoes gliding through its currents, transporting both goods and people. Local men can be seen going about their daily activities along the riverbanks, adding life to this monochrome snapshot. The charm of this vintage postcard lies not only in its geographical features but also in its ability to transport us into another time and place. It serves as a reminder of how much our world has evolved over the years while still retaining elements that make it unique. As we gaze upon this historic photograph, we are reminded of the rich culture and heritage that exists within Middle Eastern countries like Iraq. This image encapsulates the spirit of travel and exploration during those times when transportation was primarily dependent on waterways. Preserved by The Print Collector for future generations to appreciate, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into an era long gone yet forever etched in our collective memory.
