EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling city of Baghdad, Iraq, during the late 19th century. The image is an engraving from Robert Brown's renowned publication, "The Countries of the World" which was published by Cassell in London and Paris around 1890. In this remarkable scene, we are transported to a tranquil riverside location along the Tigris River. Towering palm trees gracefully frame the riverbank, casting their shadows on a variety of boats gently gliding through the water. The monochrome landscape captures both the natural beauty and urban development that characterized Baghdad at that time. As we observe this historical snapshot, it becomes evident how crucial water transport was for trade and daily life in this thriving Middle Eastern city. The intricate details depicted in this engraving allow us to appreciate not only the architectural features of buildings dotting the town but also various plants adorning its streets. Robert Brown's artistic vision immortalizes a moment frozen in time—a testament to his passion for geography and exploration. Through his work, he invites us to delve into history and witness an era long gone yet preserved within these delicate lines etched onto paper. This print serves as a reminder of our ever-evolving world while honoring Baghdad's rich heritage as one of civilization's oldest cities.
