This collection brings together imagery and identity associated with Iraq, including its national flag and entries connected with sport, politics, and air travel. Iraq lies in the Middle East, where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers meet the landscape of the historic Mesopotamian region. Baghdad, the capital, is the country's largest city. These geographic and cultural contexts help distinguish Iraq-related subjects from broader regional material, while the collection's organizational references reflect different parts of the country's public life.
