A couple from the United States got a shock when they learned their family photo was being used, unauthorised, on an advertising poster in Prague.
Danielle and Jeff Smith used the photo as their Christmas card, and also posted it on an internet blog.
A friend travelling in the Czech capital alerted them when he spotted the Smiths smiling at him, life-size, from a poster in a supermarket.
The owner of the shop has promised to remove the image.
Mario Bertuccio, whose Grazie shop specialises in Italian food imports, said that he thought the image had been computer-generated.
He used it to advertise his shop’s grocery delivery service.
When told that it showed a real family, he took steps to remove it.
