Description
(Czechoslovakia, Slovakia, Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, Subcarpathian Rus) The book by a leading Slovak heraldist offers a comprehensive view of the complex period from 1938 to 1945 and its reflection in numerous designs for heraldic expressions of the new political reality in the various parts of the shattered Czechoslovakia. It also observes the use of Czechoslovak and Slovak symbolism in the second resistance. Alongside the critical text, which refers to archival sources from both Slovak and Czech archives, it provides rich visual documentation. Unique is especially the catalog of unrealized graphic designs for the state coat of arms, flag, seal, as well as designs for the standard of the President of the Slovak Republic from 1939, which have been completely unknown until now. The book significantly advances our understanding of the behind-the-scenes creation of state symbols during this period and adds an unexpected new dimension to our perspective on it. The book is richly illustrated and contains two ribbons for binding.
