The purpose of this publication is to acquaint the public with the unique, wider audience with unknown photographs by František Pavlíček, who captured the atmosphere of Prague and especially Žižkov at the turn of the 1950s and 1960s. The book often shows in artistically, but mainly poetically tuned photographs not only today no longer existent houses and streets, but also the life of people at that time. Almost all images were taken by the Rolleiflex camera - a two -eyed SLR camera. The publication, containing more than one hundred and fifty black and white photographs, is complemented by several films from Bohemia and Moravia, as well as period articles related to the personality of František Pavlíček. ******************** František Pavlíček was born on 20 September 1928 behind Budišov near Třebíč in the yard of Holej, which is located at the pond Pyšelák. His father worked at the horses and his mother was a chamber. When he was two years old, the family moved to Prague. At first he began to learn an art carpenter, but after a year he went to the gravage printer of the V. Neubert and Sons in Smíchov, where in 1947 he began to learn a retoucher. In 1951, as a "person enjoying jazz and west" he had to enlist to auxiliary technical flags to Orlová near Ostrava, where he began to go in the mines. Since 1953 he lived with his wife in Žižkov in Kalininova Street (today's Seifertova), in later years in Budovcova Street. Žižkov was his home until 1964, when he and his family moved to the garden city. František Pavlíček worked for almost half a century as a retoucher in the V. Neubert and Sons, later renamed Orbis and even later Polygrafia. He remained faithful to his craft and "his printer" until the retouch department was definitely canceled in 1992. In the second half of the 1950s there was a photo room in the printing house, organized competitions and exhibitions, evaluated by the then renowned photographers such as Josef Sudek, Vilém Heckel and Erich Einhorn, who came to the printer for proofreading of their books. František Pavlíček started taking pictures with the old camera, the so -called album, but after a few years he won an older camera, a double Rolleiflex SLR camera, with which he took, with two exceptions, all photos published in this book.
