EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling city of Baghdad in the 19th century. The drawing, skillfully created by Eugene Flandin, offers a glimpse into his voyage to Mesopotamia between 1840 and 1842. This engraving was later featured in "Le tour du monde" in 1861, showcasing Flandin's artistic talent and documenting his exploration of the Middle East. The focal point of this artwork is a boat bridge that stretches across the river, connecting different parts of Baghdad. It serves as both a functional structure for transportation and an architectural marvel with its intricate design. The boats themselves are beautifully depicted, reflecting the craftsmanship prevalent during that era. As we observe this scene from long ago, we can't help but be transported to a time when life moved at a slower pace. The view of the city captures its vibrant energy and rich cultural heritage. From minarets reaching towards the sky to bustling markets lining narrow streets, every detail tells a story. This print from Leonard de Selva's private collection allows us to appreciate not only Flandin's artistic prowess but also provides valuable historical insight into Iraq's past. It reminds us of how art can transcend time and preserve moments that might otherwise be forgotten.
