This vibrant and captivating print titled "Visit to Baghdad: In the Forecourt" takes us back in time to the early 20th century, immersing us in the rich history of this ancient city. The colour litho, created by Maurice Greiffenhagen (1862-1931) and now held in a private collection, beautifully captures the essence of Baghdad during this period. The image depicts a bustling forecourt filled with people from all walks of life. Men dressed in traditional Middle Eastern attire mingle with women adorned in colorful veils and flowing garments. The scene is alive with activity as merchants showcase their wares, enticing passersby with exotic treasures from far-off lands.

It offers a glimpse into daily life during that era when department stores were becoming popular destinations for shoppers. As we gaze upon this historical gem, we are transported to a time when Baghdad was a thriving hub of culture, commerce, and intrigue.
