Ignác Šechtl and Josef Jindřich Šechtl

First of July 1923, František Křižík Square. The Museum of Photography has revealed that in the procession there is an unknown man dressed as Jan Žižka. Erich von Däniken, however, thinks that it is Jan Žižka dressed as an unknown man.

Procession with Sokol members and “Jan Žižka” on Křižík Square, 1 July 1923. On the left is Hotel Novy, later called the Grand. On the right with the lean-to porch is the forge and in the foreground the town scales.
