Paragons of Prague Laine Cunningham

Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, is called the Mother of Cities and the Heart of Europe.

The historical capital of Bohemia nestles against the Vltava River. Today Prague serves as one of the cultural centers of Central Europe. Because it escaped major damage during the wars that decimated other cities, visitors delight in a blend of Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque treasures.

Wander from Old Town Square across the Charles Bridge, through Malá Strana and up to Prague Castle with the full-color photos in Paragons of Prague: From Old Town to Prague Castle (a Travel Photo Art book).

In the Travel Photo Art series, traditional tourism panoramas mix with arthouse aesthetics. These slim, passport sized productions are your passport to new perspectives on famous places. Peer around corners and discover a unique way to interact with monuments and memorials you thought you knew.

This popular series includes titles that mix text with the pictures. Books like Notre Dame Cathedral: Our Lady of Paris, featuring photos taken months before the 2019 fire, become keepsakes associated with a specific site. Titles like Lidice Lives and Terezin and Theresienstadt are deeply meaningful for families touched by the Holocaust.
