- Reproduction, Prague Gate and the old municipal theatre, 1882.
Prague Gate, view from Palackého Street.
Digital reproduction from a 30 × 40 cm glass collodion negative; photograph from 1882.
Although the city rejected Ignác Šechtl’s offer to document the gate before its demolition, the photographer made photographs at his own expense on 30 × 40 cm glass collodion negatives, capturing the Renaissance facade including the sgraffito on the arched gable. On the left is the former granary, converted into the municipal theatre in 1840.
Please help us to identify who is on the photograph.
