I am posting in this post a batch of photos, which is considered as the oldest photos of Baghdad ever made. According to the website I nicked the photos from, it is between 1910 and 1939
Very nice pictures! but they almost made me cry not because of nostalgia but because looking deep into these pictures made me raise this question: "where are those people now?" and the answer was: "mostly underground".
I kiked your blog very much and find it useful. now if you can help me find a hotel to book fro the end of next week I wil be gratheful. I am from Bulgaria and will come for BIF, from 1-st till 10-th of November. my e-mail is nikolay.r.gm@gmail.com
Very beautiful photo indeed. I am always interested in Photos showing the old railway system of Iraq. Any hint? http://fuchs-online.com/iraq rainer "at" fuchs-online.com
Thank you for the beautiful pictures that bring tears to my eyes. When I was a child I used to think of Baghdad as a city of mosques and palaces, like in the Arabian Nights. Now I think of it as a place of danger and ugliness, of bombings and of unhappy people. I so wish it could be again what it was a hundred years ago.
