EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, taken on the fateful day of November 8, 1918, in Old Town Square, Prague, four Czech politicians are seen taking the ceremonial oath of the newly formed Czechoslovak forces. The politicians, from left to right, are: Dr. Karel Udrzal, Dr. Karel Scheiner, Dr. František Klofac, and Dr. Václav Havrman. The establishment of the Czechoslovak Republic was a significant turning point in Czech history, marking the end of Austro-Hungarian rule and the beginning of an independent Czechoslovak state. The oath-taking ceremony in Old Town Square was a symbolic act of unity and commitment among the Czech political leaders to the new republic. Dr. Udrzal, a prominent Czech politician and lawyer, served as the Minister of the Interior in the first Czechoslovak government. Dr. Scheiner, a respected journalist and politician, became the Minister of Education in the same government. Dr. Klofac, a lawyer and politician, served as the Minister of Justice, while Dr. Havrman, a military officer and politician, was appointed as the Minister of War. The photograph captures a moment of great significance in Czech history, as these politicians pledged their allegiance to the new Czechoslovak state and its people. The Old Town Square, with its iconic Astronomical Clock and historic buildings, serves as a fitting backdrop to this historic event. The image is a reminder of the courage and determination of the Czech people in their quest for independence and self-governance. This photograph is a valuable historical document, capturing a pivotal moment in Czech history. It is a testament to the enduring spirit of the Czech people and their commitment to their nation. The photograph is part of the extensive collection of historical images at the Robert Hunt Library/Mary Evans, and is a valuable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in Czech history and culture.
