    Prague is not in Austria!!!! it is CZECH - please update your title and description. Perhaps the Czech republic was part of the Austro-Hungarian empire at the time, but Austria is something else altogether.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Thanks! Prague was indeed part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the time that the photo was taken. We'll change the information in the source data and reload the description.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    gov calif: We will update the description to reflect both the original caption and add that the location was the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

    Maybe complete the story by mentioning that it was the capital of Czechoslovakia from about 1919 till the recent breakup into Czech Republic and Slovakia
  • Joe said:
    To be precise, at the time this photo was taken Prague was designated on maps as being in Bohemia, the Austro-Hungarian province of which it was the principal city. The most accurate description would be Prague, Bohemia, Austria-Hungary.

    Ah, the fury of Austrians mistaken for someone else! :P At least you didn't call it Germany! It happens in most countries (like calling Scotland England). Love the ballet performance with tennis raquets!
