Golden Cross - Prague, Czech Republic - Picture Perfect Postcards on Waymarking.com

The junction of Wenceslas Square, Na Príkope, Na Mustku and Ovocná Street is often called the Golden Cross, it is one of the busiest part of Prague.

Although published by K. Bellmann as late as 1898, the picture was taken in the early 1890s, as is attested by the dress of pedestrians, as well as other period details, such as the tin street name sign on the corner of Vídenská kavárna (The Viennese Café) (on the right), giving the name of Wenceslas Square both in Czech and German. Strictly Czech-language street signs were introduced in Prague only in 1894, a fact which deeply troubled the local German-speaking minority. The imposing eight-branch gas lamp of 1867 in front of the café, designed by A. Lindsbauer, was to light the area for eight more years. This was the first in a row to talling six cast iron lamp-posts lighting Wenceslas Square.
