Add to basket28 leaves/56 pages, dark gray; 228 photos, black & white; 3 missing from the last pages; 12 7/8" x 9 3/8" x 1 1/4" Opening with a picture of the local secondary school, this album starts with a series of class photos of the students studying there at the time - these are impressively captioned in bold numerals Several pages illustrated students attending summer camp in Kuortane, in the Western-Central part of the country, during the summers of 1950 and '51. Other locations visited include Willingennä, Anet, Sotkamo, and Oulu. One page shows photos from the 15th Olympiad, held in Helsinki in the summer of 1952. These include three photos of runners on the track, and one of the opening ceremony. Many scenes of nature are included: the forested coast, various lakeside resorts. Half a dozen graduation portraits are present, with students holding bouquets and proudly donning their studentenkappen - ceremonial white caps, still in use in Scandinavia today. The album ends with a series of wedding portraits of several young couples - these are stamp-embossed by the professional photographers who took them. One photo is missing from the three on the last page, as are two of three on the inside back cover; these are presumably more portraits of the happy couple. This is a beautiful album. Even the corner tabs are tasteful. The green pleather covers show a good deal of wear - the front is heavily abraded, the rear looks like it has sat at length under heavy piles. Yet within, all pages are intact, attached, not torn or creased (with one exception, the upper corner of a page late in the volume, minor enough not to detract from the photos). A fine, fun depiction of youthful life in midcentury Scandinavia.
