EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to 1932, showcasing the oil wells camp of the Iraq Petroleum Company located just 5 miles south of Kirkuk in the Kirkuk District. The image captures a pivotal moment in history as it depicts the IPC refineries burning surplus gas. The scene is both awe-inspiring and thought-provoking. The towering oil wells stand tall against the vast desert landscape, reminding us of humanity's relentless pursuit of energy resources. The camp itself appears bustling with activity, revealing glimpses into the lives of those who worked tirelessly to extract this precious commodity. The billowing smoke from the burning surplus gas adds an element of drama to this already striking composition. It serves as a stark reminder that progress often comes at a cost - in this case, wasted resources contributing to environmental degradation. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported back in time and invited to reflect on how our world has evolved since then. This photograph not only documents an important chapter in Iraq's petroleum industry but also prompts us to consider our responsibility towards sustainable practices today. Liszt Collection once again delivers an extraordinary piece that sparks curiosity and invites contemplation about our past and its implications for our future.
