EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the grandeur of Helsinki Central Railway Station, a Finnish architectural masterpiece designed by Eliel Saarinen and inaugurated in 1919. Circa 1935, the station's Art Deco style was at the height of its popularity, and this image beautifully encapsulates its unique charm. The station, also known as Helsingin pautatieasema or Helsinki Central Station, is a significant landmark in the Finnish capital and a must-visit sight for tourists. The building's distinctive features include two impressive statues, one of which is depicted in this photograph, flanking the entrance. The Odeon statue, located on the left, represents Music and Drama, while the other, on the right, symbolizes Commerce and Trade. The station's architectural style is a harmonious blend of Scandinavian and Art Deco influences, with clean lines, geometric shapes, and an intricate use of ornamentation. The building's most striking feature is the clock tower, which can be seen in the background of the photograph. The tower's clock face, with its bold Arabic numerals, adds a sense of order and functionality to the otherwise ornate design. The Helsinki Central Railway Station is not just a transportation hub but also a work of art. The public space is filled with beautiful details, from the intricate mosaics on the walls to the elegant curves of the staircases. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the station's timeless beauty and the rich history of Finnish architecture.
