VIEW OF CAPITAL CITY. — Prague, the capital of Czechoslovakia, has been called “the Northern Rome” both on account of its historical significance and because, like the Italian city, it is built upon seven hills. The town teas founded in the eighth century, but it did not enter upon the height of its prosperity until the fourteenth century, in the reign of Emperor Charles IV. The city is rich in historical associations and many of its mediaeval buildings still remain. This view of Prague was taken from the park on the hill Letna, across the River Ultava.
