coloured lithography with seven views – a Czech Pan-Slavic postcard with views of major cities of selected Slavic nations: 1) Wawel Castle in Kraków, Poland; 2) the Kremlin in Moscow, Russia; 3) Belgrade, Serbia; 4) Sredets (Sofia), Bulgaria; 5) Zagreb, Croatia; 6) Hradčany Castle in Prague, Czechia; 7) Ljubljana, Slovenia. The text printed in red letters reads, Hej Slovane, ještě [naše] slovanská řeč žije! (Hey Slavs, our Slavic tongue is still alive!), which is the incipit of the Pan-Slavic anthem. It is partly obscured by decoration consisting of a linden twig and a ribbon in Pan-Slavic colors (white, blue and red). Reference object: Link.
