The oldest preserved photographs of historic Prague come from the early 1850s. The most significant photographers of Prague in the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century were Andreas Groll, Vilém Rupp, František Fridrich, Jindrich Eckert, Karel Bellmann, Jan Maloch, Jan Mulac, Rudolf Bruner-Dvorák, and others. Painters also existed who specialised in Prague themes; Václav Jansa (1859- 1913) and Jan Minarík (1862-1937).

This card shows the Šitkovská Water Tower, the right embankment of Vltava river and on the background, you can see the silhouette of Prague Castle.

The water-tower was built in 1588-1591. The water-tower was taken out of service in 1881 and its function was taken over by a new reservior at Karlov.
