Home town of Josef Lada- Hrusice




Have you ever read the book 《The Good Soldier Svejk》 ? If you had ever read it, you must know the writer Jaroslav Hasek. But did you ever knew the book's illustrator Josef Lada? If you don't, this is what we are going to talk today, But mainly about his hometown- Hrusice.

Josef was born 17 December 1887 in Hrusice - 14 December 1957 in Prague, Josef and Hasek are very close freinds, and his name is known because of illustraiting the book 《The Good Soldier Svejk》.

The city Hrusice treats Josef like a celebrity. You can find at least 1 picture of his drawings almost 1 every km. of course, at parks, boards, sometimes even at menus and restraunts you can find his pictures. They even had his own musuem! Let me show you pictures.
