EDITORS COMMENTS
In this aerial photograph, Fort Rutbah Wells, a British Petroleum (BP) installation in western Iraq during the 1930s, comes into view. The image, taken circa 1932, showcases the desert fortress nestled amidst the arid, sun-scorched landscape. The hot and dry climate of the Middle East is evident in the barren terrain surrounding the site. Fort Rutbah Wells was a significant British oil installation during the early days of the petroleum industry in Iraq. The complex is depicted in the photograph as a collection of buildings, including a windsock signaling the presence of an airfield. A livestock pen and stables are also visible, suggesting that the site may have served as a stopover for travelers and their animals. The presence of a tennis court adds an unexpected touch to the otherwise austere setting, hinting at the comforts and amenities provided for the personnel stationed at the fort. The image is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the infrastructure and daily life at a British oil installation in the 1930s. This photograph is an intriguing reminder of the imperial era in Iraq and the role that oil played in shaping the region's history. The image is courtesy of Mary Evans/Pharcide from Mary Evans Prints Online.
