EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Qara Serai, also known as the Black Palace, in Mosul, Iraq during 1977. The remains of this magnificent palace were originally built in the 13th century by Sultan Badruddin Lu lu, who served as the Governor of Mosul at that time. The image showcases the architectural beauty and historical significance of this structure. Despite its age and partial ruins, one can still appreciate its grandeur and intricate design elements. The sharp details and vibrant colors bring out the essence of this ancient palace. Located on the banks of River Tigris, Qara Serai stands as a testament to Iraq's rich cultural heritage. It is a symbol of resilience and endurance throughout centuries of political changes and conflicts. Photographer Vivienne Sharp expertly captured not only the physical features but also conveyed a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. This photograph serves as a reminder that even in ruins, there is beauty to be found. As we gaze upon this image from decades past, we are transported back to a time when Qara Serai was once filled with life and bustling activity. It invites us to reflect on history's impact on our present-day world while appreciating the architectural marvels left behind by our ancestors.
