Name: Vintage Postcard Unposted 1939 World's Fair Czech Participation Jan Bouda Sculpture
Price: 29.99 USD
Availability: InStock

Postcard from the New York 1939 World's Fair.

Title of this sculpture is A Wanton Loss Of Lawlessness by Jan Bouda.

The fair opened in April of 1939.  Prior to that Czechoslovakia had been invaded by Germany and was no longer an independent country.  That is why the caption says participation as they were not there at that time as an officially recognized nation.

This piece was done by Jan Bouda as a statement against the Nazi occupation.  There are no records what happened to this when the fair ended.   Research came up with fact that he died in 1944 in Dresden.

This is a glossy finish card, does have some slight marks on the surface, some very minor edge wear.  Overall in very good condition.

A unique addition for collectors of World’s Fair, Czech history, or pre‑war European art.

Beginning March 1, VAMP will officially become a Live Seller Only marketplace.

This means that all active sellers on VAMP will be required to participate in live selling in order to remain active on the platform. Live selling is at the heart of what makes VAMP special — it’s where community, storytelling, and real connection with buyers happen.

Over time, it’s become clear that live events are where our buyers show up, engage, and purchase. Moving to a Live Seller Only format allows us to better support our sellers, strengthen the VAMP community, and focus on what truly works.

What this means for sellers:

• Sellers must host at least one live sale, haul, chat, or similar live event each month
• Sellers who wish to remain active must be on the Master Active Seller List (it's in the All Sellers Chat Room)
• Sellers not participating in live selling will have their accounts deactivated starting March 1

We are committed to supporting our sellers through this transition with training, themed events, promo tools, and community support. Live selling does not have to be complicated — if you can talk about what you sell, you can go live.

This shift is an exciting next chapter for VAMP, and it allows us to continue building a marketplace that is interactive, social, and centered around true vintage and collectibles.

More details, reminders, and resources will be shared leading up to March 1.

Thank you for being part of VAMP and helping us shape the future of this community. 

Thank you for supporting our community!
