This is a detailed photograph of an outdoor informational sign located in Chernihiv, Ukraine, specifically within the National Chernihiv Ancient State Historical and Architectural Reserve. The sign is mounted on a metal post and is surrounded by green grass and trees, suggesting a park or historical site setting. The sign itself displays information about Chernihiv fortress cannons. It features several photographs of antique cannons and their components, accompanied by descriptive text in Ukrainian. The top section of the sign has the heading "Національний заповідник «Чернігів стародавній»" (National Reserve "Ancient Chernihiv"). Below this, the text "Чернігівські гармати. 300 років на варті міста" (Chernihiv cannons. 300 years guarding the city) is visible. The sign is divided into several sections, each detailing a specific cannon. One section describes a cannon made of bronze, weighing 24-pound calibre, with inscriptions "№ 37" and "«П»" (which likely stands for "Пуск" or "Пробивне" meaning "launch" or "piercing" respectively in this context), dated to the late XVIII century. Another section details a 18-pound calibre bronze cannon, also from the late XVIII century, marked "№ 49" and "«П»". A third section presents a 24-pound calibre bronze cannon, marked "№ 52" and "«П»", also from the late XVIII century. A fourth section describes another 18-pound calibre bronze cannon, marked "№ 46" and "«П»". The text on the sign explains that these fortress cannons were used by the Tsutitsadeli and served as a symbol of power for the hetmans of Ukraine, defending the fortress of Chernihiv. It also mentions that some cannons were moved and re-established in the late XIX century. The sign includes information about the weight, calibre, and inscriptions of each cannon. At the bottom of the sign, there is a section labeled "Автор фото" (Author of photo) with the name "Віктор Кошмал" (Viktor Koshmal) and a phone number. To the right, under "замовлення екскурсій" (ordering excursions), another phone number is listed. A Facebook icon with the text "Національний заповідник «Чернігів стародавній»" is also present, linking to the reserve's social media presence. The overall scene depicts a well-maintained historical monument with educational signage, inviting visitors to learn about the military history of Chernihiv.
