Summary/Abstract: Photographic documentation by Bohumil Vavroušek (1875–1939) from the first third of the 20th century includes a considerable amount of pictures with masonry buildings from villages and small towns in the then Czechoslovak Republic. The photographs mostly capture buildings from the late-18th century to the 1870s, influenced mainly by the late Baroque masonry architecture that was transformed into so-called “rustic Baroque” later, in particular in Southern Bohemia. In the photos, there are also buildings with Empire and Classicism elements and even some buildings from the late 19th and early-20th centuries.
