EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the ancient city walls of Baghdad. The tower depicted in this image was an architectural marvel built by Al-Mansur, the second Abbasid Caliph who founded the city in the 8th century. Standing tall as a symbol of strength and defense, it held great historical significance for the people of Iraq. However, tragedy struck when the tower was blown up during the Turkish evacuation of Baghdad in 1917. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of both its former glory and its devastating demise. The monochrome composition adds depth and texture to this snapshot from history. It transports us to a time when Islamic architecture flourished amidst bustling streets filled with devout Muslims going about their daily lives. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but feel awe-inspired by the intricate details carved into every stone. It speaks volumes about the craftsmanship and dedication put into constructing such grand structures. This image not only captures an architectural wonder but also serves as a testament to resilience and perseverance in times of turmoil. It reminds us that even though physical structures may crumble under external forces, their legacy lives on through photographs like these – preserving our collective memory for generations to come.
