Prague and Czech peasant life shine in Bohemian portrait
The article tours Prague as a pedestrian city of arcades and medieval lanes, praising its river view and the Mala Strana, while noting how modern commerce and tourist dress threaten authentic Czech peasant costumes. It contrasts Baalbek-like towers at sunset with the Golden Prague nickname and describes women’s vibrant dress, head shawls, and the impact of machine-made dyes on traditional garb. It also notes name changes after WWI and the lingering charm of Karlovy Vary and Marienbad under Czech spellings.
