Na Poli Slavy - On the Field of Glory - Henryk Sienkiewicz

 Salvete Omnes,



new month has arrived - hurrah - the Northern Hemisphere calendar summer only 20 days away

back to the  Czech illustrations of Henryk Sienkiewicz's novels. -



this is the Na Polu Slawy - On the Field of Glory (Jeremiah Curtin translation) - of 1906AD. Published in Czechia in the same year as Na Poli Slawy.



From the National Library of Czechia I selected some plates from the 1906 edition.











Illustrations by maestro  Josef Frantisek Hettes.

Enjoy
