EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: The Dnieper River at Full Tidal Height - Kiev, Ukraine (circa 1910s) 2. Description: This photograph showcases the Dnieper River in Kiev, Ukraine, during a period of full tidal height. The river, a major waterway that flows through Belarus and Ukraine, is seen in all its grandeur, flooding the surrounding floodplain and extending its reach far beyond the usual banks. The image, taken in the early 1900s, offers a glimpse into the past, when the river's power and might were a testament to the natural beauty and the ever-changing landscape of this region. 3. Background: The Dnieper River, one of Europe's longest rivers, has played a significant role in the history and culture of Ukraine and its neighboring countries. Its tidal fluctuations have shaped the land and influenced the lives of the people living along its shores. In this photograph, the river's full tidal height transforms the landscape, creating a unique and picturesque scene. 4. Composition: The photograph captures the essence of the river's power and the vastness of its floodplain. The water's reflection on the calm, overcast sky creates a serene atmosphere, while the distant trees and buildings along the horizon serve as a reminder of the land that lies beyond the floodwaters. The use of black and white adds to the timeless quality of the image, making it a captivating piece of historical documentation. 5. Historical Context: The photograph, taken circa 1910s, provides a window into the past, offering a glimpse of the Dnieper River and its floodplain during a period of full tidal height. This image stands in contrast to a low tide photograph (10413481) from the same source, providing a fascinating comparison of the river's ever-changing landscape. The photograph is an essential addition to any collection focusing on the history, geography, or culture of Ukraine and the Dnieper River.
