A few more maps



Russian map of the Grand Duchy of Finland from the (ca. 1900).
Main problem - it's in Russian. I don't know if we'll ever see it well enough to be able to tell, though. (these shots are in sepia, aren't they?)


Looks pretty modern, but in case we just need a clear, plain map to work with.

Railway and Travel Map big map of Finland, 1875. (in sections)

Modified legend 1898.Large map of Finland, 1898. It's in sections, similar to the one above.(refer to the nav bar to the left to check out the sections of the map "C1, A1, B1," etc)

More old maps


Painting of Amalthea, built in Sideby, 1871.
