EDITORS COMMENTS
This Stamp Card print by Ottmar Zeihar showcases a unique and intriguing collection of stamps from Hungary, produced circa 1904. Zeihar's Stamp Cards were a popular innovation in the world of philately, offering collectors a chance to admire stamps they may have been unable to obtain or afford due to low printing runs or high costs. The card features an impressive montage of 180 different stamps from various regions and countries within Hungary. Some of these stamps, particularly those from smaller regions, are exceptionally rare, making this card a valuable find for collectors. The design of these Stamp Cards was distinctive, with each stamp embossed onto the card, creating an intricate and textured appearance. However, this embossed design was not approved by postal authorities, as it resembled actual stamps and could potentially confuse the function of proper postage. As a result, used Zeihar Stamp Cards are particularly hard to find. The card is adorned with the crests and coats of arms of various regions and countries, adding to its historical and cultural significance. The Stamp Card serves as a testament to the rich philatelic heritage of the early 1900s, when communication through the postal service was an essential means of connection between people and regions. This Stamp Card by Ottmar Zeihar from Hungary is an unusual and fascinating addition to any philatelic collection, offering a glimpse into the diverse and intriguing world of stamps from the early 20th century.
