EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling street scene in the ancient city of Busra, now known as Basra, in Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq) during the First World War. Dated between 1914 and 1918, the image offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Middle Eastern city during a time of great upheaval and change. The photograph shows a busy street lined with Arab residents going about their business, with a diverse array of buildings and structures in the background. A sign in the foreground, partially obscured by a man in a white robe, reads "1st Dentist," hinting at the modernizing influences of the British occupation. The British Empire had taken control of Mesopotamia during the war, and this street scene likely reflects the blending of traditional Arab culture with the influences of the Western world. The image also reveals the stark contrasts of the era, with horse-drawn carts and camels sharing the road with soldiers in uniforms and European-style vehicles. The Arab population, dressed in traditional clothing, can be seen interacting with the British soldiers and officials, highlighting the complex and multifaceted nature of the region during this period. Despite the turmoil of war, the street scene in Busra remains a vibrant and dynamic image, offering a unique window into the history of the Middle East during the early 20th century.
