A Street in Pori, Finland
A view along Eteläranta (South Shore), as it is now called, in Pori, Finland.
Many of the buildings in the photograph were newly built following The Great Fire of 1852, when more than 75 percent of the city was destroyed. The present day old town was designed by Swedish architect C.T von Chiewitz.
