This print from 1971 captures a tourist standing in awe before the ancient excavated walls behind the Ishtar Gateway in Babylon, Iraq. The man's expression of wonder and admiration is palpable as he takes in the rich historical significance of his surroundings.
The image beautifully encapsulates the essence of tourism and exploration, showcasing how individuals from all corners of the globe are drawn to sites steeped in history and culture. The juxtaposition of the modern tourist with the ancient ruins serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with its past.

Every crack and crevice tells a story that dates back centuries, inviting viewers to imagine what life was like during Babylon's heyday.
