EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Stamp Card print by Ottmar Zeihar showcases a unique and intriguing collection of stamps from Barbados. Produced circa 1904, these cards were a popular tool for philatelists, or stamp collectors, who sought to expand their collections despite limitations in availability or affordability. The set comprises a total of 180 cards, some of which feature stamps from smaller countries with extremely low printing runs, making them highly sought-after and rare collectibles today. The Barbados Stamp Cards by Ottmar Zeihar are particularly noteworthy due to their unusual design. Each card features an embossed stamp design, creating a visually striking montage of various coats of arms, crests, and regional symbols. However, this embossed design was not approved by postal authorities, as it created confusion with the function of proper stamps. As a result, used Zeihar cards are exceptionally hard to find. These cards offer collectors an opportunity to appreciate the beauty and diversity of stamps from different countries and regions during the early 1900s. The intricate designs and rare finds make the Zeihar Stamp Cards a fascinating addition to any philatelic collection. The cards not only serve as a visual representation of the communication history but also as a testament to the enduring passion for stamp collecting.
