EDITORS COMMENTS
This Stamp Card print by Ottmar Zeihar showcases a montage of stamps from Iceland, a country known for its unique and intriguing philatelic history. Produced circa 1904, these cards were a popular alternative for collectors who desired to expand their stamp collections yet were unable to obtain or afford certain rare stamps. With a complete set consisting of 180 cards, smaller countries with limited printing runs became particularly elusive and valuable. The Stamp Cards by Ottmar Zeihar were published as a selection of embossed designs, featuring various stamps from different regions and countries in a single card. However, the embossed stamp design was not approved by postal authorities, as it created confusion regarding the function of proper stamps. As a result, used Zeiher cards are exceptionally rare and challenging to find. Each card in this series displays a beautiful montage of stamps, accompanied by the respective country or region's crest or coat of arms. The cards offer collectors a unique and unusual glimpse into the world of philately during the early 1900s. This particular print focuses on the fascinating stamps of Iceland, an island nation located in the North Atlantic Ocean. The intricate designs and vibrant colors showcase the rich history and cultural heritage of Iceland's postal system. For philatelists and stamp enthusiasts, this Stamp Card print by Ottmar Zeihar is an essential addition to their collection, offering a rare and intriguing glimpse into the world of stamp collecting during the early 1900s. With its captivating design and historical significance, this print is a must-have for any serious stamp or postal history enthusiast.
