View of Prague, designed by Czech artist Josef Liesler (1912-2005), engraved by Ladislav Jirka, and issued by Czechoslovakia on August 18, 1962 to publicize the PRAGA 1962 World Stamp Exhibition, Scott No. 1134. Note that this souvenir sheet is one of the "luxury" printing variety: it is all intaglio engraved (no photogravure). Also, note that the Filaso.cz online catalog (mistakenly, evidently) credits Jindra Schmidt for the engraving work on this sheet. - nethryk  |
