EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in the history of exploration and surveying in the Amur Oblast region of Russia, taken by Vladimir Ivanovich Fedorov in 1909. The image shows a group of men carrying out triangulation measurements under a towering trigonometrical station on the river bank. Triangulation is a method used to measure distances and angles between known points, allowing for accurate mapping and surveying of vast territories. The men in the photograph are deeply focused on their work, using surveying instruments to take precise measurements. The tower in the background served as a triangulation pillar, a fixed point used as a reference for surveying and mapping the surrounding area. The river bank and ditch in the foreground add context to the location, while the meeting of the frontiers of land and water create an intriguing visual composition. This photograph is a testament to the rich heritage of exploration and scientific inquiry in Russia during the early 20th century. It is a reminder of the important role that surveying and mapping played in the development of the country and the expansion of its knowledge of its own geography. The image is now part of the collection of the Amur Oblast Museum of Regional History and Folklife, providing a valuable insight into the past and the people who shaped it.
