Abstract:
Illustrated color postcard featuring a nurse in white uniform and a firefighter wearing a red cross arm band, both helping a man injured in a fire. The injured man is sitting on the floor, one leg bent, the other stretched out. The nurse is bandaging his head while the firefighter is kneeling next to him, supporting him. Behind them another firefighter is putting out the fire with a fire hose. Above them are pictures of two shields. The shield on the right is white with a Red Cross emblem in the center and has a white "S" on top of it. The shield on the left shows the Czech lands coat of arms: white lion against red background, surrounded by green leaves.
