Camera Studies in Iraq

This album of 73 photographs of Iraq from the early twentieth century was published by the Hasso Brothers in Baghdad and printed by Rotophot A.G. in Berlin. The collection as a whole serves to contextualize the monuments further described on ArchNet. Of the collection there is a selection of photographs of an ethnographic nature that would ordinarily not be included on ArchNet. True to the publication, each image is captioned as it appears in the original, regardless of the sometimes questionable, Orientalist-slanted terminology.

This is part of the remarkable site ArchNet, which I ran across in in researching sites in India for the latest report in Griff's Story, which should be up this week.
