THE 85th ANNIVERSARY OF FOUNDING OF CZECHOSLOVAKIA IN THE SOCIETY

The year 2003 marks
the 85th anniversary of rhe founding of Czechoslovakia as an independent
state in 1918. In order to make the day special, the Embassy is trying
each year to give the celebrations a different flavour and feel. This year,
inspired by the Czechoslovak Philatelic Society of Great Britains
exhibitions at the Embassy marking its 50th anniversary, we have toyed
with the idea that we might use stamps and other postal memorabilia as the
backdrop for the celebrations. It has finally come true and for that we
would like to thanks the Society.
Stamps are often silent witnesses of historical events and offer quite an unorthodox look at history and, of ourse, art. They depict national heroes as well as national themes and are often very fine works by the most distinguished artists of the day.
It is no only stamps themselves but also the postcards and letters that give their testimonies and offer personal views by people living at the time of greater or smaller historical upheavals. Perhaps these are also the reasons why stamps hold such fascination for so many collectors.
And that is also what we wanted to show and talk about at the accompanying seminar - the history od 1918 and the founding of a country as told by stamps and peoples impressions commited to paper and sent to friends and others.
The scope of the exhibition reflects the themes connected with the founding of Czechoslovakia, be it the historical context (Masaryk, Štefánik, Austro-Hungarian Empire) or some of the "icons" that characterised the First Republic (Mucha, Sokol, Scouts or national anthems). We hope that you will go away with a ne perspective. Please enjoy.
