Prague, Woodrow Wilson Monument (Czech Republic)

Prague, Woodrow Wilson Monument (Czech Republic)

We often need to be careful when we interpret old postcards, and here’s a case in point.  Standing alone, it’s an unused sepia card captioned in four languages, very heavily aged and a small separation on the reverse upper right corner.  It just says “The Wilson Monument” (in English) and someone long ago penciled “1920s” lightly on the reverse.  But when we went to learn more, we came up with this online source dated 2011:  “WASHINGTON, Sept. 12, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Seventy years after its destruction by Nazi troops, a memorial statue honoring President Woodrow Wilson will return to its original location on Oct. 5 in Prague … The Wilson Monument commemorates the role that the former U.S. president played in helping the Czech people achieve independence in 1918 …” So there!  Grade: 4
