Name:: Old Prague with Ignác Šechtl
Description:: I am convinced that this is in fact a photograph of the so-called Old Prague, which was freely constructed, based on models of actual buildings, at the Czecho-Slavic Ethnographic Exhibition in Prague in 1895, at the Prague Exhibition Grounds. I saw a photograph with the same buildings, but mirror-reversed, in the NTM archive in connection with the Czecho-Slavic Exhibition of 1895.
Identified by M. Bártová.
Thank you.
