EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to 1932, Iraq, specifically to the Gayara area near Mosul. The image showcases a significant aspect of this region's history - bituminous wells and their collecting reservoirs. Intriguingly, the photograph captures an expansive landscape dotted with numerous bituminous wells that were once vital sources of this valuable natural resource. These wells served as a testament to the rich geological composition of the area and its significance in fueling various industries. The focal point of this snapshot is undoubtedly the impressive collecting reservoir situated amidst this vast expanse. Its purpose was crucial; it acted as a central hub for gathering and storing precious bitumen extracted from these nearby wells. This reservoir symbolized both practicality and ingenuity, reflecting human efforts to harness nature's bounty for economic prosperity. As we delve into this historical moment through lensed time, we are transported to an era when al-Qayyarah was at the forefront of Iraq's industrial development. It serves as a reminder that beyond political borders or commercial interests lies a world where human innovation harmonizes with nature's gifts. Through Liszt Collection's preservation of such images, we gain insight into our collective past while appreciating how far we have come since then.
