EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 1930s, offering a glimpse into the mystical location where tradition places the Garden of Eden. Located in the Valley of the Euphrates, approximately 250 miles northwest of Babylon in Mesopotamia (now Iraq), this mesmerizing landscape is steeped in history and mythology. The image showcases a breathtaking vista at the head of the Persian Gulf, where two mighty rivers, Tigris and Euphrates, converge with the sea. The surrounding farmland stretches as far as the eye can see, dotted with lush palm trees that sway gently in the breeze. A lone hilltop rises majestically amidst this fertile land. In this serene setting, we find two local boys seated on an island-like patch of earth surrounded by water channels. They appear deep in thought or perhaps engrossed in conversation about their surroundings. Their presence adds a human touch to this otherwise untouched natural beauty. Captured through cinematography techniques popular during that era, this vintage photograph exudes a sense of tranquility and wonderment. It invites us to contemplate ancient tales and legends associated with Mesopotamia while marveling at its timeless allure. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene frozen in time by an unknown photographer from Keystone View Company's "Tour of World" collection, we are reminded that nature has always been intertwined with humanity's quest for meaning and connection to our origins – even within these seemingly ordinary landscapes lies extraordinary mystery waiting to be discovered.
