Old postcard: Farewell to Havlíček before exile, 1851

I am offering an original old postcard titled Farewell to Havlíček before going into exile (on the night of December 16, 1851). The postcard depicts the historical scene of the farewell of the prominent Czech writer Karel Havlíček Borovský before his departure into exile. The author of the original drawing is EM Šafář. The back is addressed and described, which further illustrates the period authenticity. The postcard is small in size, published in Prague, and represents a valuable collector's item with significance for lovers of Czech history and philocards. I estimate the age of the postcard to be the beginning of the 20th century. See the photo for condition.
