Anfänge / Počátky — Paul Tuttas

Anfänge / Počátky

The comic Anfänge / Počátky serves as an introduction to the early history of Pavlův Studenec (formerly Paulusbrunn), a Sudeten village located in present-day Czech Republic. It pictures both major and minor milestones in the development of this German-speaking community, spanning the period from approximately 1500 to 1800.
My comic is the first of many inside the publication Spurensuche im Böhmischen Wald / Stopy minulosti Českého lesa (Tracing the Steps in the Bohemian Forest). Twelve contemporary artists, six German and six Czech, were invited to each illustrate a segment of the history of Paulusbrunn, which was destroyed after World War Two.
