DESCRIPTION

Czech master Karel Prucha

signed photo pasted on carton

undated (Prague 1943)

 

Photo of Karel Prucha pasted on carton, signed by him, most probably from Prague International tournament 1943.

The photo measures 16. 8 x 11.8 cm. The carton measures 24 x 18 cm. The weight 20 grams. 

Good to very good:  the photo is a little wavy. The carton and the thin tissue paper that covers the photograph show light traces of use. The back side of carton is a little soiled.

The photo is glued on carton, placed in a pre-printed decorative frame.

Below the photograph is Prucha’s signature in pen.

Photographs of other participants of the 1943 Prague International Tournament sometimes appear in a similar style (glued in a pre-printed frame on cardboard). I saw a photo of Paul Keres some time ago and in another auction I am offering a signed photo of world champion Alexander Alekhine.

Prague 1943 was strong international tournament, 20 players round robin – the winner was Alekhine 17 of 19 ahead of Keres 14.5, 3.Katetov, 4.-5.Foltys, Sajtar etc. Prucha finished 12th-15th.
