The corner of Pohjoisesplanadi and Unioninkatu in 1908

Pedestrians at Pohjoisesplanadi 19, on the corner of Pohjoisesplanadi and Unioninkatu, the so-called Uschakoff House designed by Pehr Granstedt in 1815–1816. Unioninkatu 23 and 25 can be seen in the background.
The streetscape of Helsinki was already linguistically diverse in 1908. Languages could indicate the background of entrepreneurs, but they have also been used to create an impression of specialness or quality.
