Finland's lakes, castles and waterways run through these prints from A Summer tour in Finland, Paul Waineman's travel book published by Methuen in 1908, when the country was still being introduced to English readers before its independence. Åbo's cathedral and market boats, Tavastehus Castle and the harbour at Viborg are among the buildings, while the rapids at Imatra, the Saima Canal and timber floating at Kajaani show water serving travel, industry and tourism. Rural scenes, runo singers and illustrations connected with the Kalevala bring in the country's traditions, and the captions keep the Swedish place names of the original.
