About the author
Vihtori Lähde (1867–1922), also listed as Juhana Vihtori Lähde, was a Finnish author who wrote in Finnish and published around the late 1890s and early 1900s. Library and reference sources connect him with novels, essays, and plays, showing a writer active across several forms rather than just one.
His known works include Mietelmiä, Alfrida, and the play Kohtaus kuntakokouksessa. The surviving record suggests an author interested in moral questions, community life, and ordinary people’s concerns, which gives his writing a grounded, approachable feel.
Some bibliographic records also list later practical and agricultural publications under the name Vihtori Lähde. Because the available sources here do not clearly confirm whether all of those works belong to the same person, it is safest to remember him primarily as a Finnish literary author of the early 20th century.
