The article deals with depictions of a looser private group associated with the writer Karel Čapek (1895–1938). The company as a group was captured in three drawings by the artist and writer Adolf Hoffmeister (1902–1973), which he dated to 1927. The public is most familiar with the drawing called Pátečníci [Friday Men], best visually representing the topic. The artist also made other drawings associated with the Friday Men.
