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 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.

This is the second of a triptych of pictures by the Czech artist Ferdinand Engelmüler; the three pictures were printed on a double-page spread at the centre of the bound volume for 1897 and entitled z povidek stareho parku (Stories of a secular park). 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...] [$]
