"Gezicht op boten op de Wolga met aan de horizon een kerk" (View of Boats on the Volga with a Church on the Horizon) is a photograph taken by Joseph Cheetham between 1903 and 1904. The image captures a scene on the Volga River, showcasing a group of boats docked along the shore. A church, possibly the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, stands prominently in the background, adding a religious element to the composition. The photograph provides a glimpse into the everyday life and transportation on the Volga River during the early 20th century. This photograph is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering a window into the history of Russian riverine transport and urban landscapes.
