[edit] Summary

This picture shows peasants in Finland working on the field. They are members of a class called torppari, a person who works on a farm called torppa. Torppa was a rented farm. The torppari paid his rent by working for the land lord in addition to earning his own living on his own torppa. This was very common in finland before the torpparis were eventually given the right to own their land in land reform in the beginning of the 20th century.

According to finnish law photo copyright expires 50 years after the photo was taken.

Picture taken from the website of the city of Jämsä [1]

Public domain This image (or other media file) is in the public domain because its copyright has expired.
