[Stone Mosaic]
Intriguing mosaics made of split stones collected all over Finland, with images of Finnish landscape and Kalevala myths. Each art work is on the facing page accompanied by a poem in the original Finnish with Swedish and German translations. [Understandably, due to lack of colophon or editorial information, there seems to be some guess work in the description of this book in other listings. The language other than Fin. and Engl. is given 4x as German, 1x Danish, 1x Swedish? To help interested individuals out of this, I like to confirm that it is guaranteed not German, but Swedish. I dare express doubt that there are more than one edition of this book.] Black cloth over board with silver spine title, illustrated dust jacket.
