context_section_description: Josef Jindřich Šechtl did most of his work in the limits of the Tábor region of southern Bohemia.  However, within these limits, he captured a number of important historical events, and portrayed in great detail life in the Czech countryside. A number of his photo essays have been preserved, either on glass plate negatives or on nitrate films. Until 1911 the photo essays were done in collaboration with his father, Ignác Šechtl, and  until the 1930s, with Jan Voseček.
  Josef Jindřich Šechtl was, from 1927, among the first photographers in Czechoslovakia to use the Leica 35mm film camera.
