EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of the quay in Viborg, Finland during the 1920s. The scene is filled with a diverse group of people, both men and women, engaged in the lively commerce of buying and selling fresh produce. The market boats, moored at the water's edge, are laden with an array of fruits, vegetables, and other goods, ready to be unloaded and bartered for. The women, dressed in traditional Finnish scarves and shawls, are busy arranging their wares on the tables, while the men, some with serious expressions, others with more relaxed demeanors, interact with potential customers. The people of Viborg, a part of the Viipuri Province in Finland, come from various racial types, reflecting the rich cultural tapestry of Europe during this era. The photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to witness a moment in history that is both familiar and foreign. The market scene, with its vibrant colors, lively energy, and authentic human interaction, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the people of Viborg during the 1920s. Today, as we look at this image, we can appreciate the timeless nature of commerce and trade, and the enduring human spirit that drives it.
