EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a scene from the turn of the century in Baghdad, Mesopotamia. Titled "Boats on Tigris" it showcases a group of men paddling their way through the majestic Tigris River, with a steamboat landing visible in the background. The sepia tones add an air of nostalgia to this early maritime moment. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the bustling river transportation that was prevalent during this era. The men are seen skillfully maneuvering their coracles, traditional round boats made from woven reeds or wood. Their headscarves flutter in the wind as they paddle gracefully through the water. This snapshot offers a glimpse into daily life along one of Iraq's most important rivers at that time. It speaks volumes about both travel and trade during this period, showcasing how people relied on these small vessels to navigate and transport goods across long distances. "Boats on Tigris" is not just a mere photograph; it is a window into history – an opportunity for us to marvel at how transportation has evolved over time while appreciating the timeless beauty of human ingenuity and resilience.
