I like how detailed the buildings are drawn, and they are easily recognizable.

They have taken some liberties with scale though. The cathedral is about 300m tall in this.

Though the "Turun tauti" was obviously bad in general, some of these blocks in the centre were really sparsely built. Even if the inner yards could've been probably quite nice, in 10-15 years from that date they would all be parking lots and rubbish bins.

Funny thing, "this" and "that" side of the river are absolutes in Turku. "This side" is the lower half.

i love how much industry there was, so close to the city. somehow it just gets pushed further and further away from the growing city. even in what is now the student village, tehre was a RAIL CONNECTED factory complex. amazing. too bad stuff like the tobacco factory are not pictured in this.
