EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Glimpse of Odessa's Past: Nicolai Boulevard Near the City Hall and Harbour (1910)" This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the essence of Odessa, Ukraine, in the early 20th century. Taken near the City Hall and harbour in 1910, the image showcases the city's unique blend of European architecture, vibrant culture, and bustling waterfront activity. Nicolai Boulevard, named after Emperor Nicholas II, stretches along the northern coast of the Black Sea, connecting the city centre with the picturesque harbour. In this photograph, the broad, tree-lined boulevard is teeming with horse-drawn carriages, pedestrians, and vendors, creating a lively scene of urban life. The City Hall, a magnificent edifice of Neoclassical architecture, stands proudly in the background. Its grand columns, intricate details, and imposing size reflect the civic pride and prosperity of Odessa during this period. The adjacent harbour, bustling with activity, is a testament to the city's importance as a major port and trading hub. The photograph also reveals the diverse population of Odessa, with people from various ethnic and social backgrounds mingling on the boulevard. The presence of a Jewish synagogue and a Russian Orthodox church in the distance underscores the city's rich cultural tapestry. This image offers a rare glimpse into the history and character of Odessa during a time of great change and growth. It invites us to explore the stories of the people who once walked these streets and to appreciate the enduring allure of this remarkable city by the sea.
