Old and illustrated map of Finland - 1949

This pictorial map of Finland, titled "Finland Suomi," is a richly illustrated geographical representation of the country in 1949. It highlights major cities, roads, and railways. Numerous colorful vignettes depict economic activities, local wildlife, and traditions. There are scenes of industry, agriculture, and cattle ranching, as well as illustrations of reindeer, bears, and skiers, particularly in the northern part of the country. Maritime and air connections are also represented by ships, sailboats, and airplanes. In the upper right corner, an inset locates Finland in Europe. The Finnish coat of arms is attractively displayed next to the title. The map measures 84 cm by 47 cm.
