EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Vladimir Ivanovich Fedorov in 1909, captures a significant moment in the exploration and measurement of the Zeya River in the Amur Oblast region of Russia. The image shows a group of men, dressed in heavy coats and hats, gathered around a hydrometer as they carefully measure the water level at the Inorogda hydrometric station. The meeting of frontiers between science and nature is vividly portrayed in this historic moment, as the men stand still in the midst of the flowing river, their focused expressions indicative of the importance of their work. The hydrometer, a scientific instrument used to measure the specific gravity of liquids, is a testament to the scientific investigation and exploration that was taking place in the early 20th century. The photograph is a valuable addition to the Amur Oblast Museum of Regional History and Folklife, providing a glimpse into the past and the rich heritage of Russia's geographical exploration. The image is reminiscent of the Congressional Library's extensive collection of historical photographs, and serves as a reminder of the significant role that Russia played in the exploration and understanding of its vast geography. The men in the photograph, with their determined expressions and steadfast posture, embody the spirit of scientific inquiry and the drive to uncover the mysteries of the natural world.
