EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to 1932, Iraq. The image showcases the Gayara Area bituminous wells located south of Mosul, specifically in Al-Qayyarah. In this remarkable shot, we are treated to a glimpse of a Roman paved road stretching across the landscape. The photograph transports us to an era where ancient history and modern industry coexist harmoniously. The juxtaposition of the well-established Roman road with the emerging oil industry is truly striking. It serves as a reminder of how civilizations have evolved over centuries, leaving their mark on the land they inhabit. The Gayara area was renowned for its rich deposits of bituminous wells, which played a significant role in fueling economic growth and development during that period. This particular snapshot captures not only the industrial importance but also highlights the natural beauty surrounding it. As we admire this historical gem captured by Liszt Collection, let's take a moment to appreciate both human ingenuity and nature's wonders. This image invites us to reflect on our connection with our past while contemplating future possibilities for progress and preservation.
