EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard, dated circa 1930, captures a serene moment in Helsinki, Finland's Esplanade, showcasing the majestic Johan Ludwig Runeberg Memorial Statue. The statue, built in 1895, stands proudly atop a pedestal, with a pile of stones at its base, symbolizing the national poet's connection to the land. Runeberg, a Finnish-Swedish poet and writer, is celebrated as the national poet of Finland for his epic poem "The Tale of the Kalevala," which played a significant role in the Finnish national awakening. The Esplanade, a popular park and promenade, is bustling with activity in the background. Families and groups of people can be seen enjoying the sunny day, strolling through the gardens, and relaxing on the grass. Children play nearby, adding a sense of joy and liveliness to the scene. The statue, with its intricate details and ornate design, stands as a testament to Runeberg's literary contributions to Scandinavian literature. The monument, inspired by Walter's writing, is a source of national pride and a beloved landmark in Helsinki. The tranquil atmosphere of the Esplanade, combined with the grandeur of the Runeberg Memorial Statue, creates a picturesque scene that encapsulates the beauty and rich history of Finland.
