The article presents the photographic collection of Věra Šťovíčková-Heroldová held at the National Museum – Náprstek Museum of Asian, African and American Cultures in Prague, with particular attention to its technical, thematic, and research significance within the context of the museum’s broader collections. The collection consists primarily of photographs taken in the 1960s across Africa and the Middle East, where Šťovíčková-Heroldová worked as a foreign correspondent for the Czechoslovak Radio. Her images provide a unique visual re­cord of the decolonisation process, major political events in the regions during that period, and everyday life as it unfolded in these rapidly changing societies.
