Invasion, Prague, August
2008
A powerful and historic black-and-white photograph by Czech master Josef Koudelka, capturing the raw tension and human drama of the Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia in August 1968. Koudelka's signature street-level perspective draws viewers intimately into the charged atmosphere of Prague's occupied streets, freezing a defining moment of 20th-century political upheaval with unflinching clarity. This signed and numbered print, marked '12' from a limited edition of 20 plus 4 artist's proofs, represents a rare and collectible example of one of photojournalism's most celebrated and courageous bodies of work.
