Zlatá Praha (Golden Prague) (page 1/2)

details...

Pictures from Zlatá Praha, which means, Golden Prague. Zlatá Praha was an illustrated Czech magazine published from 1864 to 1929, with a large gap between 1865 and 1884. I have volume XIV, 1897, which I bought in 2014 at Antikvariát Dlážděná, a bookshop in Prague with very reasonable prices and only a short walk from the main railway station.

I am only scanning images where the artist died more than 70 years ago, so all of the images here from Golden Prague are out of copyright.

A poem by Lord Byron might accompany them; I am not certain, and will work on confirming that; I can’t read Czech and Google Translate isn’t vey reliable. [more...]

A stream or river flows between reeds and under the bridge; in the background, buildings, and at the left edge of the bridge a tall evergreen.
