From the English introduction: "Bohemian Switzerland is an exceptional region for the history of photography in the Czech lands; this is related to its natural beauty and tourist interest during the early times of photography. The oldest sets of pictures with natural sights in this country were created right here. No other region can boast such a long continuing interest by one photographer; Hermann Krone had been taking pictures here for half a century , from 1853!".
