Description:
Legend says that during the Rudolf II.'s times alchymists lived in these houses, attempting to turn metal into gold. It originated in the second half of the 16th century, when archers and goldsmiths from the castle settled here (former name Zlatnická St.). Poor people lived here during the 18th and 19th century. Several famous writers dwelled here in the 20th century (F. Kafka, J. Seifert). The Golden Lane is now occupied by souvenirs, bookshops and other vintage shops.

Prints are made using Epson UltraChrome pigment inks on a 7 inks Epson Stylys Photo printer on archival Innova FibaPrint White Semi-Matte 300 gsm paper, which is one of the highest-quality fine-art photographic papers today. In connection with Epson UltraChrome Ink it exhibits superior sharpness and color, and is expected to last over 100 years on display before noticeable fading occurs. Cotton gloves were used while handling the prints not to leave any fingerprints or scratches. Would you like more information about fine art prints?
