This is a very original card I happen to like very much because it's about history, we can see very interesting people that are connected to Prague in different periods of time, from the Austro-Hunagrian empire, to Czechoslovakia to the Czech Republic.
This are the people we can see and a little explanation I made of who they are:
- Jan Neruda (Czech writer and poet)
- Svatý Václav (Considered the patron saint of the Czech state)
- Karel Čapek (Czech writer)
- T.G. Masaryk (Politician, founder and first president of Czechoslovakia)
- Václav Havel (Politician and writer, last president of Czechoslovakia and first of Czech Republic)
- Alfons Mucha (Czech painter, one of the most important exponents of Art Noveau)
- O. Kokoschka (Austrian painter, I think his connection comes from the time Prague was part of the Austro-Hungarian empire)
- Princezna Libuše (She's considered the founder of Prague and an ancestor of the Přemyslid dynasty)
