Malebné cesty po Praze

HEROLD, Edvard. · 1866 · 35 pictures

Edvard Herold's Malebné cesty po Praze, a Czech-language illustrated tour of Prague's streets and monuments published in 1866 for readers of the national revival, mixing topography with episodes from the city's history. Wood engravings stage crowds in doorways and gateways: processions, brawls with soldiers, a condemned man led out, church portals besieged, useful for period costume, archway framing and figure groups.
