AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The photo shows a page from a classic philatelic album, on which there is a collection of Austrian postage stamps from 1919–1920. This is the period after World War I, just after the fall of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, as seen from the inscriptions “Deutschösterreich” (German Austria).
Here is a detailed description of the page contents:
1. Top section: 1919 issue
There are 12 stamps here 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 commerce (e.g., denominations 20, 25, 30, 40, 50 heller)
At the end of the second row sits the highest denomination in this group – 1 Krone (crown) in red.
Above the rows is the inscription “K. Z. 12 1/2”, referring to the type and perforation density.
2. Middle section: 1919/20 issue (Copperplate print)
This section contains 5 larger, horizontal stamps depicting the Parliament in Vienna. These are higher-denomination issues:
2 crowns (red)
3 crowns (blue)
4 crowns (purple/pink)
10 crowns (green)
20 crowns (brown/sepia)
The header “Kupferdruck” indicates the printing technique – copperplate.
3. Bottom section: Supplement to the 1919/20 issue
At the bottom of the page there are four additional smaller stamps, similar to those from the first section:
5 heller (green) and 10 heller (red) with the coat of arms,
30 heller (brown) and 40 heller (purple) with the figure motif.
Condition:
The stamps are affixed with hinges (visible slight deviations in some samples). They appear clean and uncancelled (without postmarks), which often increases their collectible value.
