Description
The representative collection of historical depictions presents the past of a unique monument of medieval architecture and also recalls historical events associated with the bridge. This book, subtitled 'Visual Testimony to the History of Judith's and Charles Bridge,' provides the most complete published selection of preserved depictions of the bridge, significant and less significant, hypothetical, controversial, but always remarkable, mostly not only in whole but also in many details. This selected 'gallery' of images of Prague and the Prague stone bridge is also a testimony to the history of the city, to the ways of depicting reality, the graphic or painting techniques used, but also to the taste of our ancestors. Thus, this visual testimony is also a kind of bridge, a bridge between the past and the present.
