Postcard from Finland.




In 1906 the city of Helsinki founded an antiquities board. One of its duties was to document the changing city in photographs. The board hired Brander.
The photographic documentary work started in 1907 and ended in 1913. The result was 907 photos of the changing cityscapes. The project was carefully planned and the city's planning and building authorities provided information to the antiquities board and Brander. However, she had a lot of -
freedom to express her artistic vision.
Thank you Leyla  for the nice postcard and stamp.
