"Teltsch" is the German spelling for Tel?, a town in the Vyso?ina region of the Czech Republic (although when Max Pollak created this image it was still a part of Czechoslovakia). This is an image of the Zachariá?e z Hradce Square on market day as people prepare to sell their wares. Lining the square are houses built in the Reannaisance and Baroque eras, with stone arcades and decorated facades.
