Old Town of Prague and Charles Bridge by Vincenc Morstadt - Prague, Czech Republic - Paintings Then and Now on Waymarking.com

The settlement of the existing historic parts of Prague originally concentrated close to the embankments of the Vltava river, especially in the neighbourhood of old tracks, fords and localities, especially on the left bank, which afforded some protection against frequent floods.

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.
