New information came especially from studying the archival materials at the Lysa nad Labem department of the Nymburk State Regional Archive. In addition to linking Emil Pruckner with concrete buildings in Lysa nad Labem, the study of documents offered an invaluable insight into the building practice and its inner culture in the context of the Austro-Hungarian official authorities. The documents further outlined the business ethics or period practice in granting architectural concessions. ER
