David Kakabadze’s father ferrying passengers across the Rioni River in Kutaisi. This sepia-toned photograph documents everyday river transport in western Georgia during the early 20th century. The image captures a small wooden boat carrying passengers across the water, with riverside buildings visible in the background. The work reflects both personal family documentation and the social landscape of Kutaisi before modern bridge infrastructure became dominant.
