K nejvznamnjm patily gymnzium z roku 1871, odborn kola pro zpracovn deva z roku 1874, uitelsk stav a prvn dv gymnzium na Morav. V roce 1908 zaloil mal Rudolf Schlattauer ve mst gobelnovou kolu a v roce 1914 zde byl oteven zemsk stav pro vchovu hluchonmch dt. Na tchto kolch studovali ci z celho Valaka, co zvyovalo vznam msta ovlivnilo i vydvn pohlednic. Prvn pohlednice byly litografick a s tmi, kter pily po nich, nm umouj jako v obrazov galerii sledovat msto a jeho promny. Ve Valaskm Mezi ml od roku 1881 litografickou tiskrnu pan Frantiek Vank a zde v roce 1896 vytiskl prvn znmou pohlednici msta. Pohlednice tiskli i nov majitel Vakovy tiskrny, brati Chrastinov.

The town of Valask Mezi sits on the riverbanks of the Ronovsk Beva and its confluence with the Beva Vsetnsk. The first written notice about the town is from the end of 13th century. Thanks to its good geographical position the town became the residence of the district council by the mid 19th century and several grammar schools were established there. Amongst the most famous were the Gymnasium from 1871, the Vocation School for Woodworking from 1874, the teacher training-college and the first girls only gymnasium in Moravia. In 1908, the painter Rudolf Schlattauer founded a tapestry school and in 1914 the Municipal Institution for the Education of Deaf-Mute Children was opened. These schools educated students from across the Wallachian region, which increased the importance of the town and subsequently also influenced the publishing of postcards. The first lithographic postcards combined with those that came after allow us to observe the town and its transformations as in a picture gallery. Since 1881 Mr. Frantiek Vank had a lithographic printer in Valask Mezi and using this he printed the first known postcard of the town. The postcards were later printed by other owners of Vanks printer, such as the Chrastina brothers. These were printed mainly by book printingmethods using photos from the local photographer Otokar rtek. Several secession postcards of the town were printed at the turn of century by J. Slovk, a printer from the town of Krom. However, the majority of the postcards were published by a merchant called Josef Haas, a bookbinder and stationer Leopold Heinzl and later by the bookseller, Vclav Jeremi. Most of the postcards portray the town square, however, often illustrated are also the churches and the schools. Less common and therefore precious are the postcards from the other parts of the town, which often used to be independent villages and that were later joined to the town in the second half of the 20th century. Under the editorship of Josef Fabin, in 1992 and 1996 the Cultural Institution in the town of Valask Mezi published the paperback books, Valask Mezi in Old Postcards and also Changes of Valask Mezi on Postcards containing a part of Jindich Janoueks collection. In addition, in 1999 a further book titled Old Postcards of Valask Mezi and Its Surroundings was published containing postcards collected by Frantiek Baruch. The first hardback book containing postcards of the town was published in 2007, when the editor together with several collectors issued the publication Greetings from Valask Mezi. Now a new edition is being brought to you, called Valask Mezi in a Mirror of the Times, where the postcards are complemented by series of photographs. Josef Fabin

Ne jsme se pustili do prce na knce pohlednic Valaskho Mezi, museli jsme uinit nkolik rozhodnut. Jak obshl tato knka bude, jak se vypodme s nzvy ulic, z nich nkter byly hned nkolikrt pejmenovny, jak budeme pohlednice adit a kterou z nich knku zaneme. Nakonec jsme se rozhodli pro sto edest strnek obrzk a text, pro souasn nzvy ulic, pouze v nejnutnjm ppad doplovan o nzvy star i pvodn, a e knku zaneme pohlednicemi oknkovmi. Jednak proto, e jsou dodnes oblben a potom tak proto, e takov byla i nejstar litografick pohlednice msta. Vydal ji valaskomezisk tiska Frantiek Vank v roce 1896 nejprve jako dvoubarevnou a o rok pozdji ji kolorovanou. Before we began working on this book of postcards from Valask Mezi we had to make several decisions; how comprehensive the book should be, how would we deal with street names which have often changed over time, in what sequence to show the postcards and how to commence. In the end we agreed on a total of one hundred and sixty pages of pictures and text, current street names are shown and complemented with older or original names where necessary, and that the book begins with the composite postcards. Such composite formats have not lost their popularity up to this date and also the oldest lithographic photograph of the town was of this style. It was printed by Frantiek Vank in 1896, firstly only using two colours, however one year later it was published as a tinted postcard.

Dal dv litografick pohlednice byly vytitny v roce 1898 v Novm Jin a li se nejen tm, e jedna m esk a druh nmeck text, ale tak tm, e na t nmeck je obrzek eskho gymnzia nahrazen obrzkem nmeckho kasna. The next two lithographic postcards were published in 1898 in Nov Jin. The difference is not just that one has Czech whilst the other German text, but also that the German copy has the picture of the Czech gymnasium replaced by photo of a German casino.

More editors published their photographs in 1899. The top one is by Mr. Josef Haas, who was the most diligent postcard publisher at the beginning of 20th century. The Chrastina brothers, who used their printer in the town square, published the bottom postcard.

Another hard-working producer of postcards of Valask Mezi was for many years a publisher from the town of Krom, Jindich Slovk. Here are two of his first postcards of the town from the end of 19th century. It is pleasure to look at these even today.

The publishers sometimes ornamented their postcards with various emblems. The top postcard was decorated with a symbol of Valask Mezi and originates from 1900. The bottom postcard, with a symbol of Valask Mezi, Moravia and an embossed olive-branch, originates in 1904.

The commemoration postcards published by the photographer ob to celebrate the blessing of a chapel in Kotlina in 1945 are precious exceptions.

This was build immediately after the Second World War, the foundation-stone was laid on 16th September 1945 and for many of us this was where we took off the ground for the first time.

This photograph from 1920 depicts the Svrkova Street, which runs along the park. The interesting point on the bottom picture is not really the exercising people, but the building in the top left corner. That is the Jewish Synagogue, the most important building in on Vodn Street.

Pohled na synagogu z blzka mme pouze jedin a nevypad na nm po jednom z pogrom na pelomu 19. a 20. stolet zrovna dobe. Ale nsledujc fotografie interiru synagogy je v podku. This is the only close-up picture of the synagogue and unfortunately it does not look its best after one of the pogroms at the turn of 19th and 20th century.

The architekt Kupka built a nice home in a space by St. Rochs Chapel. We finish our visit of Vrbensk Street with a view onto chapelry, which already had to be repaired twice since 1990.

Mezi ulic Zaovskou a Vrbenskou je autobusov ndra. Dlouho se hovo o jeho pemstn jinam, ale zstv na mst. Pouze se nemodernizuje a ek Between the Zaovsk and Vrbensk Street is a bus station.

Tuto vydala krhovsk obchodnice Karla Broov. Before we move from Krsno to explore the village of Krhov we pass husk park where resided a popular restaurant in 1900. Despite the glassworks factory being located in Krsno, many residents of the village Krhov endorsed it as theirs and put its pictures onto the postcards of their village. This one was published by a local businesswoman Karla Broov.

Krhov m ze vech obc pipojench k Valaskmu Mezi nejbohat pohlednicovou historii. Napklad tento Pomnk obtem vlky s bustou T. G. Masaryka byl v krhovskm parku v roce 1935, kdy pohlednice vznikla, a potom a do vlky, kdy musela bt Masarykova busta schovna. Po vlce se busta na sv msto vrtila, ale pak byla reimem odstranna a kdy se mohla zase vrtit, nenala se a byla nahrazena novou bustou, zhotovenou sochaem petkem. From all the villages that later joined Valask Mezi, Krhov has the richest postcard history. For example, this memorial for the victims of the war with the bust of the president T. G. Masaryk was in the local park until 1935 when the postcard was published. However during the war the bust had to be hidden. After the war the bust returned to its original place, however, it was then removed by the regime never to be found again. It was therefore replaced by a new bust by sculpturer petk.
