EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of motherhood and tradition in early 20th century Iraq. Taken between 1917-1919, it showcases a Muslim woman standing proudly on a sunny street, holding her child close to her heart. The image exudes a sense of warmth and love as the mother gazes down at her little one with tenderness. Dressed in traditional Islamic attire, both the woman and child stand barefoot, connecting them to their cultural roots. Their presence on this historic road symbolizes resilience amidst challenging times. This photograph offers us a glimpse into the lives of ordinary people during an era marked by significant social changes. The monochrome tones add depth to the composition while emphasizing the timeless quality of this moment frozen in time. It is evident that religion plays an important role in their lives as they embody faith through their dress and demeanor. Although captured by an unknown creator, this print serves as a valuable historical artifact that sheds light on Iraqi society during this period. Through its simplicity and authenticity, it reminds us of the universal bond shared between mothers and children across cultures throughout history.
