EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to 1932 in Iraq, specifically to the Gayara area near Mosul. The image captures a mesmerizing sight - a pool of bitumen with vivid reflections that seem to dance on its surface. The dark and mysterious nature of the bituminous wells contrasts beautifully with the vibrant colors reflecting off its glossy texture. The Gayara area was known for its rich deposits of bitumen, a naturally occurring substance often used in construction and waterproofing materials. This particular photograph showcases the raw beauty of this valuable resource, offering a glimpse into an industry that played a significant role in shaping local economies during that time. The photographer skillfully captured not only the physical characteristics of this unique pool but also managed to convey an ethereal quality through his lens. The vivid reflections create an almost dreamlike atmosphere, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in this otherworldly scene. As we admire this remarkable piece from the Liszt Collection, it serves as a reminder of both our planet's natural wonders and humanity's ability to harness them for various purposes. Whether appreciated for its artistic value or studied for historical significance, this print offers us a window into another era and invites contemplation about our relationship with natural resources.
