SOKOL POSTCARDS 1938 - X - Prague (Click on any image to view an enlarged version) The tenth festival, in 1938, took place during the time of growing fascist threats from Italy and Germany, but still exceeded the previous Slets in size and length. Again there were both winter and summer competitions. For the summer games, ten days of competitions and performances were spread over one month, with participation by nearly 350,000 Sokol members, observed by more than 2 million spectators. Two series of postal cards were issued, one for the winter games, and another for the summer, each of eight cards. All are shown below. Two sets of postage stamps were issued (shown above): one, with two values depicting a falcon, for the winter games (Scott Czechoslovakia 241-242), and another, with three values depicting Jindrich Fugner, for the summer games (Scott Czechoslovakia 246-248). All were printed with setenant labels. The image on the poster stamp above is a reproduction of Adolf Liebscher's painting of the All-Sokol Slet of 1882. The strip above shows the history of the All-Sokol Slets prior to 1938. There should be ten stamps, the leftmost having the same design as the green one above, showing the 1882 Slet.   POSTAL CARDS - WINTER GAMES POSTAL CARDS - SUMMER GAMES
