Old Prague is a 1920 by T. Frantisek Simon, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a river running through a city, with a stone bridge carrying arches over the water. On the far side, a big church with a tall spire stands out, surrounded by smaller buildings with domes and towers. Trees line the riverbank, and a few boats float on the water, including one with a person steering. The text at the bottom reads *"Praha hlavni mesto Republiky Ceskoslovenske"*, which means "Prague, capital city of the Czechoslovak Republic." This tells us the scene is Prague.
