From left to right: my brother Tomas Urban, our mother Alzbeta Urbanova, and I, Ladislav Urban. The photo was taken at Mangold Studio. The studio was close to where we lived, at Masarykova St. No. 25. We lived at No. 12 or 13. Beside the studio was a pharmacy, and across from the pharmacy was the house of Ludovit Winter, who’d had the world-famous Piestany spas built.
