EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "A small trade that brings little gain, Iraq, 1925" offers a glimpse into the bustling streets of early 20th century Baghdad. The artist behind this remarkable piece is A Kerim, whose lens skillfully captured the essence of daily life in this Middle Eastern country. The image showcases a street trader standing proudly amidst his wares in a vibrant bread market. Clutching a basket filled with freshly baked loaves, he embodies the resilience and determination of those who make their living through humble means. His weathered face tells stories of hard work and perseverance. Set against the backdrop of an Iraqi avenue, lined with other merchants plying their trades, this photograph transports us to another time and place. It provides a window into the rich cultural tapestry that defines Iraq's history. Published by Hasso Bros in collaboration with Rotophot A G Berlin in 1925, this print captures not only the spirit of street trading but also serves as a testament to the enduring power of photography as an art form. Through its monochrome composition and attention to detail, it invites viewers to reflect on both the individual lives depicted within its frame and broader themes such as commerce and occupation. "A small trade that brings little gain" stands as an evocative reminder that even seemingly insignificant endeavors can hold great significance when viewed through an empathetic lens.
