EDITORS COMMENTS
This Stamp Card print, published by Ottmar Zeihar in the early 1900s, showcases a stunning montage of stamps from German Morocco. During this era, stamp collecting, or philately, was a popular hobby, and collectors were always on the lookout for rare and unique specimens. With a complete set consisting of 180 cards, these Stamp Cards provided collectors with an opportunity to admire stamps that were either unobtainable or too expensive for their collections. The smaller countries represented in this set had very low printing runs, making the Zeihar Stamp Cards from German Morocco particularly rare and valuable today. However, the embossed stamp design on these cards was not approved by postal authorities due to the confusion it caused with the function of proper stamps. As a result, used Zeiher cards are exceptionally hard to find. Each card features an intricate montage of various stamps from the respective country or region, along with their crests, coats of arms, and other relevant emblems. The cards serve as a testament to the rich history and cultural diversity of the regions they represent. This particular print dates back to circa 1905 and is an unusual and fascinating example of the philatelic world during the early 1900s. The Zeihar Stamp Cards from German Morocco offer collectors a unique and intriguing glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and variety of stamps from this region during a time when philately was a burgeoning and passionate hobby.
