In 1918, Czechoslovakia declared its independence and became a new country formed from Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia, Slovakia, and Carpathian Ruthenia—all formerly part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire which dissolved after World War I.
Travel posters from 1918–1938 illustrate how the First Czechoslovak Republic sought to portray itself to the world. These posters were created by artists, designers, and commercial studios who understood that tourism was more than leisure—it was diplomacy. In a region long defined by shifting imperial borders, travel posters became vehicles for soft power, enticing both domestic and foreign audiences to see Czechoslovakia as a land of opportunity, beauty, and progress.
