Edward VII of England photos that are hanging in the Spielbank (Casino) Bad Homburg restaurant. I hoping to find prints of these fantastic / informative photos.

This one I have seen before but it was great to see it in better detail (late 1800s).

These are from 1906 and Edward VII appears to be wearing a gray Stiff Felt with open crown Homburg style tendencies. I have never seen these photos before.

Janyška, 58cm, Crown Open 5 1/2 inches, Brim 2 inches, NOS condition, probably late 1930s early 1940s. The felt is really nice (light weight) and easily dry creases. Also like that it doesn't have a liner which is less common for this style hat. Overall great form! Janyška & Cie. (located in Valašské Meziříčí – Krásno about 25 km from Nový Jičín) were unusual because the company was founded in the 1920s and owned by a Czech. The historic hat companies (JHS, AP,BB) in Neustitschein / Nový Jičín were Austrian / German owned and founded in the mid 19th Century. This one is from my latest Czech find.

A real Central Europe style homburg!
Very elegant and the flavor of Prague in it!
Some French homburgs (brand Antonin) have no liner, they came from the same era

Janyška "Praga", 58cm, Crown Open 5 1/2 inches, Brim 2 inches, NOS condition with some mothing, probably late 1930s early 1940s. The felt has more of a Chamois finish in a great blue color (will look better in natural light). Also has an interesting shortened sweatband (also color coordinated) and no liner so wears light. I really like this one!
