Poster stamp in memory of Dr. Jan Podlipný (1848-1914)
According to Czech Wikipedia and Google translate:
JUDr. Jan Podlipný (August 18, 1847, Hnevceves - 19 March 1914, Prague)
was a Prague attorney , Mayor of Prague (1897-1900) and member of the
Bohemian Landtag as a Young Bohemian, and the first mayor of the Bohemian
village of Sokol (1889-1906).
He organized the Collection of Laws on the State Law of the Kingdom of Bohemia
(1882) and was also the Legal Unity Executive. He was a man of rare
character and noble morals.
And obviously he was a very active member of the Sokol organization.
