Czechoslovak poster artist, lithographer, photographer, graphic designer, painter and postage stamp designer Czechoslovak photographer, painter, illustrator and patriot. Apart from his artistic production he was an advocate for the unification of Czechoslovakia for which he designed the first banknotes in 1918.
Do not crop the border out, it's clearly part of the artistic intent: This is not an image on yellowed paper, this is a yellow image on white paper.
This is a retouched picture, which means that it has been digitally altered from its original version. Modifications: Stitched together from a two-part scan, vignetting from said scan fixed as best as is possible, minor damage restored (as a mass-produced artwork, the goal is slightly more idealised form than with a one-off image), border whitened up a bit (this was apparently on glossy paper, as there was no real paper texture in the scan, just lithographic printing)..
