EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured by Vladimir Ivanovich Fedorov in 1909, documents a significant moment in the exploration and mapping of the Amur Oblast region in Russia. The image shows a group of men at the waters edge, gathered around a benchmark as they prepare to lay it on the river bank. The benchmark, a small metal disk with a notch, serves as a reference point for surveying and mapping the geographical features of the area. The scene takes place in the late 19th century, a time when the borders between Russia and China were being defined, and the exploration of the Amur River and its surrounding territories was a priority. The men in the photograph appear focused and determined, their expressions reflecting the importance of their work. The meeting of the frontiers is evident in the background, where the Russian and Chinese flags can be seen flying. The image is a testament to the rich heritage of exploration and geographical investigation in Russia, and serves as a reminder of the significant role that surveying and mapping played in the development of the country. The photograph is now part of the collection of the Amur Oblast Museum of Regional History and Folklife, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the past. The image is a still from the past, capturing a moment in time that has long since passed. The river bank, once a bustling site of exploration and discovery, is now a tranquil landscape, the waters gently lapping against the shore. The benchmark, once a vital reference point, now sits quietly, a relic of a bygone era.
