This visually stunning hardcover volume, published by Werner Söderström Osakeyhtiö (WSOY), explores the enchanting National Romantic and Art Nouveau architecture of Finland. Featuring evocative prose by Cody Douglas Oreck—wife of former U.S. Ambassador to Finland Bruce Oreck—and striking photography by Octavian Bâlea, the book captures the "fairytale" aesthetic of Helsinki’s historic doorways, interiors, and landscapes. It serves as both a high-end photography book and a cultural tribute to Finnish design heritage. The book is in good vintage condition with a solid spine and clean internal pages; the faux-leather textured boards show light shelf wear and minor rubbing at the corners, consistent with handled use.
