Riga in early 20th Century postcards
“In this unusual but convenient publication layout, the reader is led, step by step, along the streets and squares of early 20th‑century Riga as if in an exciting motion picture, allowing them to vividly experience the atmosphere of the urban environment of that time, the appeal of architectural art, or simply the bustle of the market on Daugavmalā. Historian Inta Štamgute has conjured this vision by many years of careful work collecting, systematizing, selecting, and organizing hundreds of the postcards that were published in large numbers at that time. With precise commentary, dates, and compilations of facts, the documentation of the era becomes easy to absorb and suitable for the broad interests or deeper study of any reader. The author has deliberately avoided subjective emotional evaluations and visible artistic stylistic characterizations. This approach highlights the publication’s scientific substance and informational value, which is further enriched by the book’s extensive appendices and explanations.” Rīga : 20. gadsimta sākuma pastkartēs = Rīga in Postkarten zu Beginn des 20.
