Patriot Song of the Finlanders
EDITORS COMMENTS
- Sveaborg, Helsingfors, 1854: A Historical Snapshot of Finnish Patriotism and Creativity This black and white print, titled "Patriot Song of the Finlanders" - Sveaborg, from Helsingfors, 1854, is an intriguing glimpse into the rich cultural history of Finland during the 19th century. The creator of this image remains unknown, but its significance lies in the powerful message it conveys. The image is a reproduction of an engraving published in the Illustrated London News in 1854. The lyrics of the song, penned by Johan Ludvig Runeberg, the Swedish bard of Finland, and the music by Friedrich Pacius, resonated deeply with the Finnish people during this period. The poem's opening lines, "Our land, our fatherland! Thou glorious word, ring forth! No mountain rises, proud and grand, nor slopes a vale, nor sweeps a strand, More dear than thou, land of the North, Our fathers' native earth," encapsulate the deep-rooted love and pride the Finnish people held for their homeland. The print depicts Sveaborg, also known as Suomenlinna or Viapori, a historic fortress located in Helsinki, Finland. The image captures the grandeur and majesty of the fortress, with its imposing walls and towering structures, standing proudly against the backdrop of the tranquil waters. The print's intricate design, with its meticulous attention to detail, is a testament to the artistic and creative prowess of the time. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the deep-rooted patriotism and love for the land that defined the Finnish people during the 19th century. It is a snapshot of a time when art, literature, and music played a crucial role in shaping the cultural identity of a nation.
