Praga Postal Stationary
On March 11th, the Czech Ministry of Transportation and Communications issued two post cards and an envelope commemorating PRAGA 98.

Two cards were denominated at 4 Kc and printed in multicolored offset. The 4.60 envelope was printed by recess print from flat plates. All three were printed at the Post Printing House in Prague.

Karl Dvorak based his graphic design on a gravure by Johan Georg Mansfeld (1764-1817). Jiri Bouda drew the Postal Museum on one of the 4 KC cards and the Trade Fair Palace on the other. Karl Dvorak did the typographic design for both cards. Karl Dvorak also did the art work for and designed the envelope.
