West Bohemia reporting: Plzeň spelled in ransom-note letters, the Domažlice gate tower, Cheb with its dotted glass, and České Budějovice's Meat Shops — a Gothic butcher's hall turned beer hall, still pouring today.

The dragon of Trutnov — pub U Draka — is the finest beast in the file, black as the Krkonoše night. Svitavy went mid-century modern; Písek squared its glass; Vyškov kept a folk jug. One trust, a hundred hands.

The good-appetite series — the same wish set nine ways, in two colourways, with beer, bottle, orange or tray. State graphic design at its most benign: nothing to sell you, since there was nowhere else to go, so the mat simply wishes you well.

Coffee and cake for the ladies, a chef-boy for the children, and the trust's boldest instruction: NEVAŘTE DOMA — don't cook at home, our cooks cook for you. The canteen state, in six exhibits.

The houses of culture — every town got one, every one had a restaurant, and the mats came in Society-Deco lettering. R8 is pure 1970s: a monogram, a circle, nothing else. Normalizace minimalism.

Three White Roses — Poděbrady twice and Strakonice once, because every spa town wanted one. The Přeštice piglet raises a glass to its own schnitzel, and Sokolov commemorates a July weekend in 1967 nobody else remembers.
