The oldest graphic depiction of Prague is a xylograph in the schedel Chronicle, published in Nuremberg in 1493; some experts assign the work to the young Albrecht Dürer. Filip van den Bossche, Václav Hollar (1607-1677), Vincenc Morstadt (1802-1875), Samuel Prout and others rank among further well-known artists recording the appearance of old Prague.
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).
