Vasili Filippovich Levi

Vasili Filippovich Levi took black-and-white photographs of the Finnish landscape around the early 1900s. One of his prints in this set is Metsäkivi, a close-up study of lichen-covered boulders in a quiet pine forest. The picture feels like a quiet promise: step off the path and the woods hold their own small worlds. If Metsäkivi catches your eye, tap to see a wider view of that same forest in the album Finland, Early Twentieth Century.
