EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1846, offers a glimpse into the past of Baghdad's historic riverfront. The image, titled "Baghdad: View of the River Line of Houses from the British Residence to Haji Selim's," showcases the picturesque line of houses along the Tigris River. Baghdad, the historic capital city of Iraq, has a rich and complex history that spans over 12 centuries. This photograph, taken during the mid-19th century, captures a moment in time when the city was still an important center of trade and culture in the Middle East. The British Residence, located on the right bank of the Tigris River, served as the official residence of the British Consul-General. The grand building, with its large windows and red-tiled roof, stands out against the backdrop of the traditional Iraqi houses. The houses along the river, known as "River Houses," were a distinctive feature of Baghdad's urban landscape. These houses were built with mud bricks and covered with whitewash, giving them a distinctive, almost ethereal appearance. The houses were designed to withstand the harsh Iraqi climate and were often built on stilts to protect against flooding. On the left side of the photograph, the minaret of Haji Selim's Mosque can be seen. Haji Selim was a wealthy merchant and philanthropist who built the mosque in the late 16th century. The mosque, with its distinctive blue dome and intricate tile work, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Baghdad. This photograph provides a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life of Baghdad during the mid-19th century. It is a reminder of the city's rich history and its enduring charm, which continues to captivate visitors to this day.
