EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the tomb of Sheikh Omar in Baghdad, beautifully captured by Eugene Flandin in his drawing. The intricate details of the tomb are brought to life through Flandin's skilled engraving, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the rich history and culture of Mesopotamia. The tomb stands as a testament to the significance of Sheikh Omar, a revered figure in Iraqi history. Flandin's journey to Mesopotamia between 1840-1842 enabled him to witness firsthand this remarkable architectural marvel and capture its essence on paper. Displayed in "Le tour du monde" publication from 1861, this engraving serves as a window into a bygone era. It offers us a glimpse into the bustling cityscape surrounding the tomb, providing insight into daily life during that time period. Leonard de Selva has skillfully preserved this historical gem within his private collection. Through his photography, we can appreciate not only Flandin's artistry but also gain an understanding of how ancient structures like the tomb have endured over centuries. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time and reminded of the enduring beauty found within our world's cultural heritage. This photograph is more than just an artistic representation; it is a connection between past and present that invites us to explore and appreciate our shared human history.
