Postal and Scout Services in Prague 1914-1918

This is a new book, a visual and documentary tour of Prague’s postal and Scout services during the turbulent transition years between the wars.

Discover the untold story of how scouts and seals brought a nation’s hope. The map of Europe was transformed with the end of World War I, creating new nations by ethnic groups, one of them being Czechoslovakia. In its early days, the new republic and Prague, its capital, needed a secure, reliable, and fast postal service between the National Liberation Committee and other government offices.

Through archival documents, rare and unpublished stamps, envelopes, maps and original photographs, this publication sheds light on the extraordinary role of Czech Scouts in maintaining civic and national identity through postal communication.
