This book is a celebration of Prague’s historical and architectural heritage. Karel Plicka captured Prague Castle, churches, gardens, ancient streets, and lesser-known city views. It contains 178 black-and-white photographs printed in photogravure, ensuring exceptional reproduction quality.

Photogravure technique:
Photogravure allows for extremely fine tonal gradations, detailed textures of stone, brick, windows, and shadows, and produces a contrast that brings the images to life. Each photograph appears almost like an original, letting the viewer appreciate even the smallest details of historical architecture. Every image is not only a document but also a work of art that transports the observer into the heart of historic Prague.

Significance and context:
The book offers a unique view of Prague’s royal landmarks and historic locations, captured with Plicka’s characteristic sensitivity and artistic composition. The photographs are breathtaking and captivating, timeless in their appeal, and continue to provide an authentic representation of Prague as it could be seen by a visitor in the mid-20th century. This publication is not only a collection of beautiful images but also a valuable document of Prague’s history and architecture.
