One of the many photo manuals published by Cyprian is entitled Photographing Water (Księgarnia Wł. Wilak, Poznań, 1937). The foreword to the publication reads as follows: "A true amateur photographer will show a special affection for water in any form, whether it is a pool or an endless sea." Most probably, Cyprian took this photograph when he was collecting the material for the above book illustrated with the artist’s works.
