EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating glimpse into the ancient civilization of Ur, located in present-day Iraq. The image beautifully captures a collection of game boards that were unearthed during archaeological excavations at this historical site. These intricate and colorful boards offer us a unique window into the past, revealing the recreational activities enjoyed by people who lived thousands of years ago. The vibrant colors and exquisite craftsmanship of these artifacts are truly remarkable. Each board tells its own story, representing not only a form of entertainment but also providing insights into the culture and society of this ancient civilization. It is awe-inspiring to think about how these games were played centuries ago, bringing people together for moments of leisure and enjoyment. As we gaze upon this photograph, we cannot help but feel connected to our ancestors who once roamed these lands. It serves as a reminder that despite the passage of time, human nature remains constant – seeking amusement and connection through shared experiences. This image invites us to embark on an imaginary journey back in time, where we can envision ourselves sitting around one of these game boards with friends or family members from another era. It sparks our curiosity about their strategies, laughter-filled moments, and perhaps even friendly rivalries. Through Walter Rawlings/Robert Harding's lens, this print transports us beyond borders and generations – reminding us that while civilizations rise and fall, our collective humanity endures through artifacts like these game boards from Ur.
