ATELIER B & R [JOSEF BURJANEK, 1913-1992 & JIRI JELINEK (REMO), 1901-1941]

CASTLES IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA. Circa 1947.


33x22 3/4 inches, 84x57 1/2 cm. Dolezal, Cerveny Kostelec.
Condition A: minor creases at edges and along vertical and horizontal folds. Paper.

Featuring images of Karstejn, Orava Castle (Slovakia), Spis (Slovakia) and Rabi Castle - curiously the two photographic images were likely taken from previous posters designed for the Czech railway before World War II. This poster was printed during the brief time after the Second World War and before February 25, 1948, when Czechoslovakia fell to a Communist coup, bringing with it a government that lasted for more than 40 years. This is the English version.
