Original price was: 25.00€.Current price is: 20.00€.

Virtual time travel during the 19th century was through books. Even though the albums of engravings and their accompanying texts that were published in the 1860s by Baltic-German artist Wilhelm Siegfried Stavenhagen are not part of the typical travel literature category, they are still comprised of interesting material that helped to introduce and better understand the area, both in the past and at the present time.

„Samal ajal, kui Eesti sisemaa oma suurte soodega vähe vaatamisväärsusi pakub, on põhjarannik Paldiski ja Narva vahel rikas kaunite paikade poolest. Seda tõestab ka vaade kõrge klindiga Vana-Purtsele. Reisija, kes Pikaristi ja Varja (Wargel) jaamade vahelist teed pidi Tallinnast Narva sõidab, näeb peagi enda ees laiuvat merd. Nelja versta kaugusel Varjast peatub postitõld. Me väljume ja laskume jalgsi alla orgu. All silla juures palub hobusemees meil jälle istet võtta, kuid meie eelistame teha lühikese kõrvalepõike maalilise ümbrusega tutvumiseks.“ Sellise pildi maalib kunstnik meile Purtse merekuurordist.
