Red Storehouses, Porvoo, Finland Photo Print
"Red Storehouses, Porvoo, Finland" by Catherine Sherman.
These red storehouses on the Porvoo River in Old Porvoo, Finland, are among the town's most photographed sights. Red ochre paint was used to paint the storehouses in the late 18th century in honor of King Gustav III's arrival.
Historically, Porvoo has been an important center of trade, and the storehouses were once used to store goods and produce, such as exotic delicacies from distant lands. The Porvoo River connects the town to the Gulf of Finland.
Porvoo is one of the six medieval towns in Finland, first mentioned as a city in texts from 14th century. In the Old Town, the district dating back to the time of Swedish rule, you can still sense the atmosphere of the medieval town. Porvoo was first granted town rights around 1380. Porvoo is on southern coast of Finland about 30 miles (50 km) east of Helsinki.
On the left is the History and art museum in the heart of the Old Town, housed in the former City Hall (1760). The Diet of Porvoo was held here, and today it showcases artifacts from peasant life and a collection of old photographs.

Ordered this as a surprise for my nephew’s first birthday. It came out beautiful! So many joyful tears were she’d when it was unwrapped. Why then did I give this 4 stars? I made three attempts to order this through the app on my iPhone. First time, got all the pics loaded, clicked to resize it and lost everything. I tried again, this time, when I clicked on the “add to cart” button, the button froze and I couldn’t buy it. I nearly gave up. Three days later, I tried one more time and it went through that time. On a positive note, the collage came in record time, arriving the day before the party, though it was scheduled to arrive afterward. Overall, excellent product. High quality, well worth the $$$. Gorgeous!!! Paper quality is superb! Colors are vibrant! Everything is aligned beautifully. Only flaw, the picture had a 2 in scratch directly through the main photo. It’s an obvious scratch, one I was initially very bothered by. The sender had to have seen it and yet, still mailed it as it. I would have asked for a new one had I not needed to gift it the very next day. Otherwise, it’s stunning. I would definitely purchase again.

This is one super nice item! It is a great work of art for my wall. It would make a great framed gift too! The weight of the paper used, being Kodak paper, is spot on perfect! The printing of this fine work of art photo is top notch gallery worthy all the way!

Beautiful! High quality, semi-gloss, nice weight paper. Wonderful Bible verse and just such a lovely watercolor!
BE AWARE: White border around the artwork included in size.
My 8.5x11" print has a 1/2" white border.
The actual artwork is 7.5x10 inches
I had not understood this before; however, it was just as pictured on Zazzle. I had planned on matting, so this will workout perfectly when done! :). High quality, nice weight paper, clear print, good color
