Additional Details

This album was created by Vaclav Pokorny, an artist from Prague, to thank Antonin Rozsypalovi for his assistance in the building of a lodge in an area then known as Carpatho-Ruthenia. Roszypalovi was the governor of the area from 1924-38. Subesquently, the lodge was named after him. Carpatho-Ruthenia has since been ruled by the Hungarians, the Czechs, and is currently part of the Ukraine.
