Bohumír Číla was among the talented individuals from childhood. He studied with František Ženíšek and was an excellent restorer. He created a copy of the calendar of the Prague Astronomical Clock - after the burning of the town hall, Mánes's astronomical clock was stored in the National Museum, and Číla's copy took its place.
