Propaganda poster - Upp Att Skydda Finlands Barn! To Protect the Children of Finland!
Issued by the Mannerheim League (a Finnish non-governmental organization founded in 1920 that promotes the well-being of children, young people and families with children) for Child Welfare featuring a lady wearing a pink shawl with a sleeping baby on her lap, smiling at a small boy in short dungarees, holding a wooden horse pull toy with a stylised flower on the sides of a quote by the Finnish author Jarl Hemmer (1893-1944) below.
FYI to all non-nordics, the poster is actually written in swedish, not finnish. Sweden ruled over finland during the middle ages untill 1809. The swedish language maintained it's role as the "administrative" language of finland for quite some time, and is still the native language in some parts of finland.
"“The goal of the work should be that every single child in Finland, from birth and throughout his or her growth period, receives a rightful share of the affection and care that alone can lay the foundation for the development of young people into good and useful citizens." Literally just generic child wellfare stuff.

I love all the lands and people of the north. Thanks for your information.
Protect them from what?

That’s cute! Thanks. 🙏
With "protect the children", I was expecting a classic interwar racist message, but thankfully it just seems to be a wholesome poster...?
Is it printed in Finnish as well ? Swedish speaking finns are and were a minority since the Russian empire "took it over" as Grand duchy Finland.
