EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling street scene in Baghdad, Mesopotamia (now Iraq) during the First World War, circa 1917. The image presents a vibrant and diverse tableau of life amidst the chaos and upheaval of war time. In the foreground, a crowd of people, mostly dressed in traditional Middle Eastern garb, mill about on the dusty road. The hustle and bustle of commerce is evident, with merchants displaying their wares on the sidewalk and horse-drawn carts laden with goods making their way through the throng. In the background, the imposing archway of a grand, ancient minaret looms over the scene, a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of this ancient city. The minaret, with its intricate Islamic design, stands in stark contrast to the more modern, European-style buildings that can be seen in the distance. These structures, with their red-tiled roofs and ornate facades, bear the marks of the British occupation of Baghdad during the war. Despite the tumultuous events unfolding around them, the people of Baghdad continue to go about their daily lives, demonstrating a resilience and adaptability that has long been a hallmark of the Middle East. This street scene offers a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era, a time when the world was irrevocably changed by the Great War.
