10 large vintage gelatin silver prints, taken December 1969 and apparently printed shortly afterwards, each with photographer's wetstamp verso and pencil inscription 'Prague Decembre 1969', recently mounted in cream window mounts each 21cm x 29.5cm. Note 1: These prints were selected by the vendor for their artisic merit in addition to their historical importance. Images partially overlap with those in the previous lot. Note 2: Grylla is a photojournalist noted for his photographs of celebrities in the 1960's, but the sombre tone of this series shows a different dimension to his work. Following the Prague Spring, on August 20 1968 the Soviet Army invaded Czechoslovakia. Immediately afterwards it would have been impossible for a Western photojournalist to gain access. By December 1969 Grylla was able to enter Czechoslovakia. His record shows a grim situation with long queues for food and fuel, but occasionally illustrating small acts of resistance.
