Description: Přemysl a Libuše, Vyšehrad, Prague, Czech Republic. Sculpture designed by Josef Václav Myslbek in 1881 and finished in 1890 depicts two characters from old Czech legends - Princess Libuše (in the moment when she foretells future glory of Prague) and her husband Přemysl the Plower, both mythical ancestors of the Přemyslide dynasty. It was originally placed at the Palacký Bridge, but was heavily damaged during US air raid in February 1945. The statues from the bridge were transferred to Vyšehrad in 1947 except this one. A copy of Přemysl and Libuše has been made later and placed in the Vyšehrad park since 1978. Photo taken by Miaow Miaow in October 2005, PD-self
