A. Malmström's pictures
The following pictures were made by the Swedish artist A. Malmström in the 1880's to accompany Runeberg's patriotic Fänrik Ståhl's sägner. For fast download, and memory purposes, I have resized the largest pictures and made them into GIF's. Enjoy these pictures by a great artist, because this is my way of honouring him!

A. Edelfelt's pictures
These pictures were made by Albert Edelfelt, Finland's greatest artist. Like the previous pictures these were also made as illustrations to Fänrik Ståls sägner. Many of these pictures are legendary and many of them still hang on the walls of Finnish homes as millions of copies have been made.
