Text in English. 269 pp. Handsomely illustrated, this book takes an unusual viewpoint, examining the history of Finland through flags and heraldry.From the 16th century, the emblem of Finland was a gold lion on a red field. When Finland declared independence, the lion flag was adopted as her first national flag. Why was it abandoned and replaced with the blue cross, which some viewed as a Russian emblem at the time? What happened in the decades when the new flag was not yet accepted by all Finns? From Lion to Blue Cross traces the history of Finland's national emblems from the arms of the Kings of Sweden in the 11 th century to the modern symbols we know today. Fine / Fine.
