Ausgabe der Dauermarke mit dem aufgedruckten Buchstaben „A“ WEIHNACHTEN – JOSEF LADA
Weihnachten ist das Fest, das in der christlichen Tradition die Feier der Geburt von Jesus Christus darstellen. Gemeinsam mit Ostern und Pfingsten gehören sie zu den bedeutendsten christlichen Festtagen.  
In Tschechien wird als Höhepunkt von Weihnachten, vor allem von Nicht-Gläubigen,  fälschlicherweise der Heilige Abend, 24. Dezember, gehalten, als Vorabend des Festes selbst. In Weihnachten wird manchmal auch die Adventszeit eingeschlossen, die Weihnachten vorangeht. Mit Weihnachten sind verschiedenste Traditionen verbunden, zu denen der Weihnachtsbaum, Krippen, Weihnachtsgeschenke, die das Christkind bringt, oder Weihnachtsgebäck gehören; einige von diesen Traditionen kommen aus den bereits vorchristlichen Zeiten und hängen mit der Feier der Sonnenwende zusammen, die auf diese Tage auch fällt. Derzeit verblasst jedoch die ursprüngliche religiöse Bedeutung von Weihnachten und Weihnachten wird auch für ein der bedeutendsten bürgerlichen Feste gehalten.

Issue of the definitive postage stamp identified with a letter „A“ CHRISTMAS – JOSEF LADA 
On the 5th November, 2014 the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic will issue a definitive postage stamp with imprinted letter „A“ – Christmas. The letter „A“ corresponds to the price of Ordinary Letter – Standard up to 50 g in domestic service – current  price according to the Price List of Basic Postal Services– at present amounting to CZK 13.
The stamp features the 1942 picture “Bethlehem in Winter” by Josef Lada, used by the courtesy of the National Gallery in Prague. This motif already appeared on Czech Post’s 2013 New Year envelope.
In the Christian tradition, Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. Together with Easter and Pentecost, it is a major Christian holiday.
Most Czech people mistakenly consider Christmas Eve (24th of December) to be the culmination of Christmas. Some people also include Advent, a season preceding Christmas, into Christmas. Christmas is accompanied by a number of traditions, such as Christmas tree, nativity scene, gifts brought by Little Jesus, Christmas sweets. Some of these traditions date back to the pre-Christian era and are related to the celebration of solstice that takes place in the same days. The original, religious meaning of Christmas has however almost disappeared and Christmas is considered as a major public holiday.
The author of the graphic arrangement of the stamp is Ivana Havránková.
The stamp, sized 30 x 23 mm  has been printed by the Post Printing House in Prague by multicoloured offset in printing sheets of 50 pcs.  
There will be 1 First Day Cover incl. Commemorative cancellation. In the picture part of the cover is a detail of the picture – the Little Jesus. The cover is printed by offset in dark blue. On the postmark is a comet and the text: Hrusice, 5. 11. 2014.
The stamp is valid  from 5th November, 2014.

Issue of the commemorative postage stamp ANNIVERSARY OF THE 17th NOVEMBER
On the 5th November, 2014 the Ministry of  Industry and Trade  of the Czech Republic will  issue a commemorative postage stamp in the denomination of 13 CZK -  Anniversary of the 17th November.The stamp features symbols of statehood - the state colours and the state emblem (the stylisation is inspired by the Gothic Parler’s emblem). They are accompanied by dates and the text “We do not forget” referring to the given events.
The 17th November belongs to the major dates in the history of the Czech Republic.
In 1939, the Nazis took a brutal action against Czech university students. Fifty years later, the Velvet Revolution started.
The anti-occupation mood intensifying in late 1939 culminated on the 15th November when people decided to commemorate Jan Opletal, a student of medicine at Charles University deadly shot at a demonstration held on the day of the 21st anniversary of the creation of Czechoslovakia.
During the night of the 16th and 17th November, German policemen assisted by SS troops mercilessly carried out the order of the German Führer. All ten Czech universities were closed, nine student leaders were executed in Prague-Ruzyně, and 1,200 students were beaten and sent to concentration camps.These events led to the declaration of the 17th November as the International Student Day in London in 1941. This is the only internationally recognized holiday originated in the Czech Republic.
On the 17th November 1989, one week after the fall of the Berlin wall, the Velvet Revolution started in Prague. At four o’clock in the afternoon, groups of students gathered in front of the seat of the Faculty of Medicine in Prague’s Albertov to commemorate the tragic events that had happened fifty years before that time. The initially calm demonstration soon turned into a fight for freedom, democracy and political reforms.
The author of the design of  the  issue  is  the academic painter and graphic artist Jan Kavan, the engravings of the FDC are the work of the graphic artist and engraver  Václav Fajt.
The stamp, sized 23 x 30 mm  has been printed  by  the Post  Printing House in Prague  by multicoloured offset in printing sheets of 50 pcs. 
There  will be  1 First Day Cover incl. commemorative cancellation. In the picture part of the cover are depicted policemen with shields and a rose; although the picture refers to the events at the Národní Třída street, it is a symbol of a confrontation between violence and love. The cover is  printed by recess print from flat plates in blue-grey. On the postmark are pieces of barbed wire symbolizing suppression of freedom and revolts against it and the text: Praha, 5.11.2014
The stamp is valid  from 5th November, 2014.

Herausgabe der Sondermarke JAHRESTAG  17. NOVEMBER
Der 17. November gehört zu den bedeutendsten Tagen in der Geschichte der Tschechischen Republik.
Im Jahre 1939 sind die Nazis brutal gegen die Hochschulstudenten eingeschritten und fünfzig Jahre später hat die Samtene Revolution stattgefunden. 
Ende 1939 hat sich die Antibesatzungsstimmung gestärkt, die am 15. November den Höhepunkt erreicht hat. Damals haben sich die Menschen entschieden, das Andenken des verstorbenen Studenten der medizinischen Fakultät der Karlsuniversität Jan Opletal in Ehren zu halten. Ihn haben die Nazis tödlich bei der Demonstration angeschossen, die am Tag des 21. Jahrtages der Entstehung der Tschechoslowakei stattgefunden hat. 
In der Nacht vom 16. auf 17. November haben die deutschen Ordnungspolizisten mit  Unterstützung der SS-Einheiten kompromisslos den Befehl des deutschen Führers ausgeübt. Auf Dauer haben sie alle zehn tschechischen Hochschulen geschlossen, 9 Hauptvertreter der Hochschulstudenten in Prag-Ruzyně hingerichtet, 1200 Studenten geschlagen und in  Konzentrationslager verschleppt. Auf  Grund dieser Ereignisse wurde in London im Jahre 1941 dieser Tag als Internationaler Studententag erklärt. Bis heute ist dieser Tag der einzige Jahrestag von internationaler Bedeutung, der aus Tschechien kommt. 
Am 17. November 1989, eine Woche nach dem Fall der Berliner Mauer, hat in Prag die Samtene Revolution begonnen. Um vier Uhr nachmittags haben sich am Sitz der medizinischen Fakultät in Prag-Albertov Gruppen von Studenten zusammengetroffen, um sich an die tragischen Ereignisse vor fünfzig Jahren zu erinnern. Die ursprünglich ruhige Manifestation hat bald in einen Streik für Freiheit, Demokratie und politische Reformen gewechselt.

Andreas Vesalius ist am 31. Dezember 1514 in Brüssel geboren und ist am 15. Oktober 1564 auf der griechischen Insel Zakynthos gestorben. Er war Anatom, Arzt und vor allem Autor eines erzählenden Buches über die menschliche Anatomie: „De humani corporis fabrica“ (Bau des menschlichen Körpers), das einen bedeutenden Einfluss auf die weitere Entwicklung des Fachbereiches hatte. Vesalius wird oft als Begründer der modernen Anatomie erwähnt.
Im Jahre 1537 ist Andreas Vesalius Professor der Anatomie in Padua an der Universität geworden, die durch ein hohes Niveau vor allem im ärztlichen Bereich berühmt wurde. Er hat sich den Obduktionen gewidmet und im Jahre 1538 hat er das lateinische Werk -Anatomische Tabellen - veröffentlicht. Das erste Buch beschreibt die Knochen und Knorpel, das zweite Buch die Muskeln und Bänder, das dritte Buch Blutgefäße, das vierte Nerven, das fünfte Verdauungs-, Harn- und Geschlechtssystem, das sechste Atemsystem und das siebte Gehirn und Sinnesorgane. 
Es geht um die ersten neuzeitlichen Lehrbücher der Anatomie, enstanden auf Grund von Betrachtungen und der Obduktionen. Vesalius hat auch den Vorgang der Autopsien vorgeschlagen, der bis heute benutzt wird.
Im Jahre 1559 wurde in Venedig die Schrift vom Vesalius‘ Schüler Cornaro herausgegeben, die den kleinen Kreislauf (Herz-Lunge) und die Anatomie des Auges beschreibt. In den Jahren 1577 bis 1581 hat er in Prag Adam Huba die Anatomie gemäß Vesalius vorgelesen. Das Werk von Vesalius wurde in viele Sprachen übersetzt, im 17. Jahrhundert sogar ins Russische von Slavinský wie die Medizinische Anatomie (1658).

Jakub Schikaneder was born in Prague on the 27th February, 1855 and died on the 15th November, 1924, in Prague as well. He grew up in an artistic environment, where his aunt, cousin and older brother Charles worked as actors and singers. Success and fame, however, often alternated with decline and poverty. Here we find the beginnings of a strong social ethos, which appears in Schikaneder’s paintings. After graduating from the Prague Academy, he traveled around Europe, which greatly influenced his future work.
He received important recognition both at home and in the world in 1882 with his painting “Přísaha Lollardů” (The Lollards’ Oath) with dimensions of 250 x 400 cm. Even the leading art critic Miroslav Tyrš described the painting as an extraordinary work of art and its sale abroad brought a substantial financial reward.
From the 1880s, his paintings are full of social comprehension, which can be seen, for example, in the paintings “Dozvuky zimy” (Aftermath of Winter), “Plečka” (The Weeder), “Výměnkářka” (The Retired Peasant Woman), and results in his final masterpiece “Vražda v domě” (A Murder in the House). In 1885 Schikaneder was appointed as an assistant to František Ženišek at the School of Applied Arts in Prague, and later led a special school for painting flowers. After Ženíšek left the Prague Academy in 1896, he took over the studio of decorative painting. The position of professor allowed him to take several study trips in Europe in the 1890s. He repeatedly visited Paris, but he also went as far as Sicily. In 1895, together with Josef Thomayer, he toured England and Scotland. He also worked on the decoration of the interiors of the expositions of the College of Applied Arts at the World Exhibitions in Paris in 1900 and four years later in St. Louis.
At the end of the first decade of the 20th century, Schikaneder withdrew from public life, lived in seclusion and did not exhibit his paintings in public any more. He nevertheless continued teaching at the School of Decorative Arts, even during World War I.

Jaromír Funke was born on the  1st  August, 1896 in Skuteč and died on the 22nd  March, 1945 in Prague. He was one of the most important Czech photographers of the first half of the 20th  century and one of the world’s major pioneers of avant-garde photography. Together with Josef Sudek and Jaroslav Rössler, he was a member of the Czechoslovak modernist movement of photography between the world wars. In 1924, together with Josef Sudek and Adolf Schneeberger, he founded the Czech Photographic Society, which aimed at using purely photographic processes, breaking free from the influence of graphics. The photographic events of his time were influenced not only by his work, but also by his extensive theoretical, critical, organizational, editorial and especially pedagogical activities.
Although Funke was enchanted by modern architecture, he did not shy away from photographing older monuments. At the request of the Municipality of Cologne, a series of photographs of the St. Bartholomew Cathedral originated, first issued in 1943. It contained at least 56 shots of the church and included both overall views of the church, as well as views of the interior and details of the interior decoration and furniture. He died a few months before the end of the Second World War as its indirect victim. 
Salvador Felip Jacint Dalí i Domènech was born on the 11th  May, 1904 in Figureres, Spain and died on the 23rd  January, 1989 in the same place. He was an important Catalan painter, known for his surrealist works. Dalí was an artist of enormous talent and imagination. As a native of Catalonia, he insisted that he had Arabian roots. He claimed that his ancestors were descendants of the Moors who invaded Spain in the year 711 This is what Dalí saw as the cause of his love for all that is golden and excessive, his passion for luxury and his love of Oriental clothes. However, Dali’s eccentric and theatrical behavior sometimes overshadowed his work. He did unusual things just to get attention, which sometimes tired both his admirers and his critics. On the other hand, this triggered attention led to the recognition of his work by the general public and to increased sales of his works.
Dali’s works are known for a striking combination of bizarre, dreamlike images with an excellent draftsmanship and painterly expression, for which Dalí found inspiration in the works of the old masters of the Renaissance. His best-known work, “The Persistence of Memory,” was completed in 1931. Dalí created more than 1,500 paintings during his career. Besides that, he also illustrated books, designed theater sets and costumes, created dozens of sculptures, and participated in various other projects. Salvador Dalí’s artistic repertoire also included film and photography. He collaborated with Walt Disney on the animated short film Destino, which was after its introduction in 2003, long after Dali’s death, nominated for the Academy Award. Among his achievements in the field of architecture is a museum in the village of Port Lligat, near the Spanish town of Cadaqués, and the modern pavilion Dream of Venus at the World EXPO 1939, which contained many unusual sculptures and statues.

Issue of the commemorative postage stamp Personalities: Andreas Vesalius (1514–1564)

On the 5th November, 2014 the Ministry of  Industry and Trade  of the Czech Republic will  issue a commemorative postage stamp in the denomination of 25 CZK from the issue of Personalities: Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564). On the stamp is depicted  a portrait of Andreas Vesalius.
Andreas Vesalius was born on the 31st  December, 1514 in Brussels and died on the 15th  October, 1564 in Greek Zakynthos. He was an anatomist, physician, and the author of a brilliant book primarily about human anatomy, De humani corporis fabrica (Construction of the Human Body), which had a significant impact on the further development of the field. Vesalius is often mentioned as the founder of modern anatomy.
In 1537 Andreas Vesalius became a professor of anatomy at Padua, at the University made famous for its high levels, especially in the medical field. He was devoted to dissections and in 1538 he published a Latin work of anatomical tables. The first book describes bones and cartilages, the second book muscles and ligaments, the third book blood vessels, the fourth nerves, the fifth the digestive system and the genitourinary tract, the sixth the respiratory tract and the seventh the brain and sensory organs.
It is the first modern textbook of anatomy, formed on the basis of observations and dissections. Vesalius also created an autopsy procedure which is still used today.
In 1559 the work of Vesalius’s pupil Cornaro, describing the circulation of the small vascular system (heart–lung) and the anatomy of the eye, was published in Venice. From 1577 to 1581, Adam Huba lectured in Prague on anatomy, already using Vesalius. The work of Vesalius has been translated into many languages, in the 17th century even into Russian by Slavinský under the title Medical Anatomy (1658).
The author of the design of  the  issue  is  Prof. Zdeněk Ziegler, the engravings are the work of the graphic artist and engraver  Václav Fajt.
The stamp, sized 23 x 40 mm  has been printed  by  the Post  Printing House in Prague  by rotary recess print in black combined with photogravure in red and yellow in printing sheets of 50 pcs. 
There  will be  1 First Day Cover incl. commemorative cancellation. In the picture part of the cover is depicted a sheet from his book Anatomical tables. The cover is  printed by recess print from flat plates in red-brown. On the postmark is an element from his book and the text: Praha, 5.11.2014.
