Vilnius (Public buildings)

1918, a year of progress and hope. On 16 February, Vilnius is proclaimed the capital of Lithuania, even though the city is still occupied by the Germans and fought over by both the Poles and the Russian Bolsheviks. From the press at the time: “Everyone wants Vilnius. The solution is to make Vilnius an object of peace, not of dispute.”

Ukmergė

From the press at the time: “Ukmergė has made great progress and no longer resembles the pre-war city.” It could be said that there are two Ukmergės in Lithuania: the old and archaic Ukmergė, which is disappearing, and the new, bright, modern, and cultured Ukmergė, which has a beautiful future. (“Lietuvos aidas”, 1939)

Riga

From the press of that time: “Our construction work has to consolidate the national spirit of Latvia” (President Kārlis Ulmanis, 1936).
