EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing view of a doorway overlooking the majestic River Tigris, surrounded by the ruins of the Caliphs Palace in Samarra, Iraq. Taken in 1977 by Vivienne Sharp, this image transports us back to a significant period in history. Samarra holds great historical importance as it served as the capital of the Muslim Caliphate from 836 until it was surpassed by Baghdad in 892. The city's decline began when the River Tigris shifted its course during the 13th century, causing irreversible damage to its once-thriving civilization. The photograph showcases remarkable Arab architecture and highlights intricate details that have stood against time. The vibrant colors bring life to this ancient structure, reminding us of its glorious past and religious significance within Islam. As we gaze through this doorway into another era, we are reminded of how civilizations rise and fall throughout centuries. This image serves as a poignant reminder of our shared human history and cultural heritage. Vivienne Sharp's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the grandeur of nature with the flowing river and architectural marvels left behind by our ancestors. It is an invitation for reflection on our place within history and an appreciation for preserving these remnants for future generations to cherish.
