EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, taken circa 1930s, showcases the industrial heart of Abadan, Iran, with a focus on the Bawarda Housing Estate and the oil refinery located on the southern end of the Shatt al-Arab Waterway. At the time, this refinery held the distinction of being the largest in the world. The image offers a unique vantage point, revealing the intricate layout of the refinery complex, its sprawling production facilities, and the meticulously planned Bawarda Housing Estate, which provided accommodation for the workers and their families. The estuary of the Shatt al-Arab Waterway, forming the border between Iran and Iraq, is also visible in the background, adding to the geographical significance of this image. The industrial landscape of Abadan during the 1930s was a testament to Iran's burgeoning oil industry and its role as a global player in petroleum production. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a visual representation of the intersection of industrialization, urban planning, and international relations in the early 20th century.
