EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage Dutch map postcard, dated 1918, showcases the Baltic States with a particular focus on Latvia, then known as Lettland. The intricately detailed map depicts the regions of Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia, with Tallinn and Riga prominently marked. The patriotic tone of the postcard is evident in the prominent display of the coats of arms and flags of each country. The Baltic States had recently gained their independence from Russian rule following the end of World War I, and this map postcard reflects the excitement and pride of the time. The map serves as a testament to the rich history and cultural diversity of the region, which had long been influenced by various European powers. The map is adorned with the names of major cities, rivers, and mountains, providing a visual representation of the geography of the Baltic States. The postcard's antique aesthetic, with its muted colors and intricate borders, adds to its historical charm. The Baltic States have a long and complex history, and this map postcard offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in their past. It serves as a reminder of the region's resilience and the enduring spirit of its people, who have continued to preserve their unique identities despite the many challenges they have faced throughout history.
