The Czech Republic is a landlocked country in Central Europe. Its capital and largest city, with 1.3 million inhabitants, is Prague. The Czech Republic includes the historical territories of Bohemia and Moravia and a small part of Silesia. This country has a temperate continental climate, with relatively hot summers and cold, cloudy and snowy winters. The temperature difference between summer and winter is relatively high, due to the landlocked geographical position.

 Postcard

Stamp

I was confused if the postcard sent from Czech Republic when I saw a middle eastern style stamp. Later, I found Alois Musil is a professor at Charles University in Prague (1920-1938). I thought that may be one of the reasons they make a stamp to commemorate him. Anyway, thanks to Marek for sending me these four postcards with an envelope. Cheers!
