This was one volume in a the five-volume Velké řady (Great Series) edition first published in 1939. Color offset lithograph printed at Československá akciová tiskárna in Prague using an oil painting by Zdeněk Burian. Due to its unquestionable symbolic meaning, it also became a logo of sorts for the Wide World exhibition.
