Last week i found a book about 18th century Finnish art from 50s at my local second hand bookseller in Ankara Turkey. I think it was printed by the Finnish embassy.

As it reads on the book, it was printed by Werner Söderström Osakeyhtiö (WSOY) in Porvoo, Finland in 1950. WSOY is a renowned Finnish literature publisher. This book can be found commonly in second hand book shops for 5 – 15 EUR.
Its a relatively common book printed in Porvoo 1950.
[A copy of this book in sale for 3 euros](https://www.antikvaari.fi/teos/suomen-taidetta-1800-luvulta/62a63e50eaa1ec176c615dc4?srsltid=AfmBOoqYl2aZwX5DtIEwcdScs7PgzdfM6C1Z9hMhMFi4YV0KiLiqNN4D) in Finland. Its not old enough to have real value, and also after WWII books like this were sold in numbers.
This one has been owned by Finnish consulate, I guess.
*19th century
Gallen Kallela really was something.
Fun fact: Sibelius (seen on the 4th last picture) was still alive when this book was published.
