EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "BAGHDAD: TIGRIS, c1914" takes us back in time to the early 20th century in Baghdad, Iraq. The image showcases a serene scene on the Tigris river, where a boater gracefully navigates his way through the calm waters. Dressed in traditional attire, he skillfully maneuvers an oar as he sits comfortably in a small coracle-like boat. Behind him stands an impressive row of houses that belong to upper-class citizens of the city. These magnificent structures reflect architectural elegance and speak volumes about the wealth and prosperity enjoyed by their owners during this era. Lush palm trees frame the picture, adding a tropical touch to the landscape. The photograph is presented as a stereograph, which was a popular form of entertainment at that time. This technique created an illusion of depth when viewed through special devices called stereoscopes. Through this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, we catch glimpses of life along the Tigris river over a century ago – its tranquility interrupted only by occasional boats passing by. It serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression capturing not just architecture and transportation but also cultural elements such as Arabic influences. This Granger Art on Demand print allows us to appreciate how much has changed since then while reminding us of Baghdad's rich heritage and timeless beauty.
