Abstract
The article analyzes images of the Turks prevailing in the Czech milieu in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, specifically works responding to the Balkan uprisings and the Russo-Turkish war of the 1870s, travelogues and works written after the occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It puts the views on the Turks in the context of Czech attitudes to other ethnic and religious groups and points out stereotypes and Orientalist images typical of works with Turkish themes.
