EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling city of Baghdad circa 1910. The image showcases an extraordinary sight on the Tigris River - passengers disembarking from circular boats, known as kufas, onto the riverbanks. The scene is filled with a sense of anticipation and activity as people eagerly step off these unique vessels. The composition of this portrait-format photograph perfectly captures the essence of water transport in the Middle East during that era. The circular shape of the boats stands out against the flowing currents, creating a striking contrast between man-made structures and nature's elements. As we delve into this historical moment frozen in time, it becomes evident that these circular boats were not just ordinary vessels but rather an integral part of daily life for those residing along the Tigris River. They provided a means of transportation for both locals and visitors alike, connecting different parts of Baghdad through its intricate network of waterways. With its impeccable attention to detail and stunning monochromatic tones, this print by Hulton Archive allows us to immerse ourselves in a bygone era where tradition met modernity on Iraq's riverbanks. It serves as a reminder that even amidst changing times, certain aspects remain timeless - like our reliance on innovative modes of transport to navigate our surroundings.
