AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The photo shows a page from a classic philatelic album, featuring a collection of Austrian postage stamps from 1919–1920. This is the post-World War I period, just after the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, as seen by the inscriptions “Deutschösterreich” (German Austria).
Here is a detailed description of the page contents:
1. Upper section: 1919 issue
There are 12 stamps of various denominations and colors, arranged in two rows. They depict:
- The Coat of Arms of Austria (e.g., denominations 3, 5, 10 heller)
- Allegorical figures symbolizing labor or trade (e.g., denominations 20, 25, 30, 40, 50 heller)
At the end of the second row is a stamp with the highest denomination in this group – 1 Krone in red.
Above the rows is the inscription “K. Z. 12 1/2”, referring to the type and density of perforation.
2. Middle section: 1919/20 issue (Copperplate engraving print)
This part contains 5 larger horizontal stamps depicting the Parliament in Vienna. These are higher-denomination issues:
- 2 Krone (red)
- 3 Krone (blue)
- 4 Krone (purple/pink)
- 10 Krone (green)
- 20 Krone (brown/sepia)
The heading “Kupferdruck” indicates the printing technique – copperplate engraving.
3. Bottom section: Supplement to the 1919/20 issue
At the bottom of the page are four additional stamps in smaller format, similar to those in the first section:
- 5 heller (green) and 10 heller (red) with the coat of arms
- 30 heller (brown) and 40 heller (purple) with a figure motif.
Condition:
The stamps are affixed with hinges (slight misalignment visible on some copies). They appear clean and unused (without postmarks), which often elevates their collectible value.
