EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from The Northcliffe Collection takes us back to the year 1917, amidst the chaos of World War I. It showcases a serene scene on the Tigris River, where majestic sailing boats gracefully glide through its shimmering waters. These vessels, with their billowing sails and sturdy masts, serve as a poignant reminder of a bygone era when maritime travel was not only practical but also an art form. The photograph captures a moment frozen in time, revealing the beauty and tranquility that once graced Mesopotamia's waterways. Against the backdrop of war-torn Turkey, these sailing ships stand tall as symbols of resilience and hope amid adversity. As if suspended between history and imagination, they transport us to a time when exploration and trade flourished along this ancient river. This image is more than just a snapshot; it encapsulates an entire epoch marked by conflict yet still able to find solace in nature's embrace. It invites us to reflect on how humanity has always sought refuge in moments of peace even during times of turmoil. As we gaze upon this historic treasure from The Northcliffe Collection, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its ability to evoke emotions and provoke contemplation about our shared past.
