Gramophone museum illustrations

For a Gramophone Museum in Prague I illustrated a book about history of gramophones since their beginnings, through Jazz Age and Space age, all the way into the present. The book was used for presentations inside the museum.

Pro Muzeum gramofonů v Praze jsem ilustrovala knihu o historii gramofonů, od jejich počátků přes éru jazzu a vesmírný věk až po současnost. Kniha sloužila pro prezentace uvnitř muzea.
