Finland framstäldt i teckningar (in English Finland presented in drawings) is a series of booklets published between 1845 and 1852, containing lithographs of famous places in Finland with short descriptions, mainly edited by Zacharias Topelius.[1] The illustrations have had a significant role in the history of Finnish art and patriotism.[2]

The publication was republished by Society of Swedish Literature in Finland in 2011 and is freely available digitally.[1] Topelius's similar historical-geographical works include En resa i Finland (A journey in Finland, 1872–1874) and Boken om vårt land (The book about our country, 1875).
