Description

Scrapbook relating to the post war life of Antonin Horcicka, 20-22 January 1951.

A souvenir scrapbook emblazoned in internee colours with the front cover displaying Antonin Horcicka's prisoner number above a red triangle bearing the letter T representing his concentration camp prisoner classification and country of origin [a red triangle designating political prisoners and the letter T representing 'Tschenche', German for Czechs]. The scrapbook contains two hand-drawn illustrations; the first featuring historic Prague landmarks, namely Petrín Observation Tower, Prašná Brána [Powder Tower], Mostecká Vež [Old Town Bridge Tower] and Týnský Chrám [Church of Our Lady before Týn], whilst the second features an illustrated flyer advertising a fancy dress ball organised by the Sokol Organisation in Sydney.
