Unknown artist

Year: Around 1890

Measures: 67 x 99 cm

Background: This one is true rarity. It is a poster for the Finnish shipping company Helsingfors Ångfartygs Aktiebolags and their route to Germany. The original dates back to around 1890 and as far as we know there is only one copy saved to the after world. We got the re-print permission from the owner, Finnish shipping guru Tuukka Laakso. Thanks to Mr Laakso's generosity we can now share this piece of cultural heritage with the rest of he world.

Note that the wintertime harbour in Finland is Hangö (Hanko), this because of the much better ice situation in Hangö. The normal route was Helsinki-Hangö-Reval (Tallinn)- Lübeck.

Price: 19 €
