The market at the north end of the South Harbour at Helsingfors, Finland. The market is in the square between the water and the Pohjoisesplanadi. The photographer is looking north-east-by-north from the upper floor of a building on the Eteläranta showing a number of boats moored stern-on to the quay from which traders are selling their wares including potted plants and fish. The market square is full of handcarts, horse drawn carts, motor lorries, motor cars, stalls and people. On the right of the square is Empress Alexandra's obelisk.
