A Boy in the Russian Cemetery
A young boy stands amidst the snow-covered tombstones in the Russian (Hietaniemi) cemetery in Helsinki, Finland in the 1890s.
Imagine winter in 1800s Finland - all the snow had to be moved by hand or with the help of animals. No machines. It would have been a monumental task.
