Rare New Year's photographic (copy) greeting (PF - Pour Féliciter) from 1961 with Jawa motif by Kamil Lhoták. Kamil Lhoták was a prominent Czech painter, graphic artist, and illustrator known for his paintings of motorcycles, airplanes, and technical motifs. Jawa was a legendary Czechoslovak motorcycle brand founded in 1929 that gained world fame for its quality machines. Lhoták's love for Jawa motorcycles was reflected in many of his works. The PF 1961 New Year's greeting comes from the period of flourishing Czechoslovak industry and art. The photograph with Jawa motif by Lhoták represents a unique connection of art, technology, and New Year's greeting tradition. PF (Pour Féliciter - For Congratulations) was a tradition of sending New Year's greetings in Czechoslovakia. Rare memorabilia for collectors of Lhoták's works, Jawa motorcycle enthusiasts, or those interested in Czechoslovak visual arts of the sixties.
