This print titled "The Bagdad Mosul Railway" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Captured from the vantage point of an RAF aeroplane on 9 December 1925, it offers a striking aerial view of the railway as it stretches towards Kerkuk, a Kurdish town in the vilayet of Mosul. In this monochrome image, we witness the vastness and grandeur of this engineering marvel that connected Baghdad and Mosul, spanning over 155 miles. The railway played a crucial role in facilitating trade and transportation during the early twentieth century between these two major cities in Iraq. The photograph's composition highlights the intricate network of tracks cutting through rugged terrain, showcasing human ingenuity against nature's backdrop. It serves as a testament to mankind's ability to conquer geographical barriers for progress and development. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era between wars when Europe was undergoing immense transformation. This photograph is not just about infrastructure but also represents an important historical artifact that sheds light on how nations were interconnected even during tumultuous times.
