Czech photographer Josef Sudek (primarily known for his return to romantic, mood-imbued images of Prague, regular documentation of his studio window, and rich still life images) worked for a brief period as a commercial photographer, partnering with designer Ladislav Sutnar and other Czech companies to produce a portfolio of striking advertising work that holds beauty and relevance today.
