EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print depicts the beautiful Kuopio Province in Finland, as it appeared in 1856. Part of the North Savo region, Kuopio was one of eighty-two provinces in the Russian Empire during this time. The front of this card showcases the province's distinctive features, including its rivers, forests, and major cities. In the foreground, we see men in traditional Finnish attire engaged in hunting, a common pastime in this rural area. The backdrop includes the impressive exterior of a local church, a testament to the strong influence of Christianity in the region. The card's reverse side features a detailed map of the province, the provincial seal, and information about the population and local costume of the inhabitants. This charming souvenir card was part of a larger set, intended to provide travelers and collectors with a glimpse into the diverse culture, history, economy, and geography of each province within the Russian Empire. The intricate illustrations, vibrant colors, and meticulous lettering on this card serve as a reminder of the rich heritage and meeting of frontiers that characterized Europe during the 1850s.
