Something interesting about Finland in this era: it was the one country in the West that was mostly spared the Great Depression, due in large part to its timber exports. After a slump in 1929-'31, the Finnish recovery started as early as 1932 and the economy grew steadily for most of the '30s.

Art Nouveau did not completely die in Finland as an art movement after 1920s as this photograph taken by Hans Wagner in 1939 shows.

Some Finnish flower arrangements from the early 1950s. Many of the vases are still available. Please ask for details.
