Czech Republic - 10th All Sokol Rally in Prague 1938

A rally to promoting public exercise as a way to stimulate national self importance (through organised gymnastic and athletic demonstrations - usually mass-participation). The Sokol (which translates as Falcon ) arose as the first Czech Gymnastic organisation in the 1860s. Between the First and Second World Wars the organisation grew to have a million members. The Sokol programmes were organised to have mass appeal across all strata of Czech society and across all age groups. Miroslav Tyrs (1832 -1884) (pictured top right) was a key exponent of this approach and is duly being honoured by the ranks of passing Sokol participants. Tyrs believed that a nation must be physically fit, morally on a high plane and intelligent in order to secure independence and retain it. Elevated to Doctor of Philosophy at Charles University and a member of the Education Staff of Riegers Encyclopedia, Tyrs formulated his Sokol plan, creating an entirely new gymnastic terminology. The next twenty years of his life were devoted to Sokol. He was the first Physical Director, editor of the Sokol paper and creator of calisthenics and exercises, placing the whole system on a firm scientific basis. This card commemorates 20 years of the event. Date: 1938.

EDITORS COMMENTS

This photograph captures the 10th All Sokol Rally in Prague, Czech Republic, held in 1938. The Sokol, which translates to Falcon in English, was the first Czech gymnastic organization that emerged in the 1860s. The Sokol movement aimed to promote public exercise as a means to stimulate national self-importance through organized gymnastic and athletic demonstrations. By the interwar period, the Sokol had grown to have over a million members, appealing to all strata of Czech society and across all age groups. Miroslav Tyrs (1832-1884), a key exponent of this approach, is honored in this image as the ranks of passing Sokol participants pay tribute to his legacy. Tyrs, a Doctor of Philosophy at Charles University and an Education Staff member of Riegers Encyclopedia, formulated the Sokol plan, creating an entirely new gymnastic terminology and dedicating the next twenty years of his life to the organization. He served as the first Physical Director, editor of the Sokol paper, and creator of calisthenics and exercises, solidifying the foundation of the system on a firm scientific basis. This commemorative card marks the 20th anniversary of the event, showcasing the unity, determination, and commitment of the Czech people to their physical, moral, and intellectual development. The Sokol movement played a significant role in shaping the Czech identity and fostering a sense of national pride, as evidenced by the mass participation in these gymnastic demonstrations.
