I just got today at the post office a commemorative postmark of A.Mucha exhibition held in Tokyo now.


Roppongi Hills post office 5.4.Heisei 25(2013)

Anyone have other A.Mucha related stamp, postmark or cover?

He designed the first stamps of Czechoslovakia. These are among my all time favourite stamps.

Mucha postcards are really popular too. Some of them command big bucks as well. With stamps it is not as expensive.

There are several websites devoted to Mucha's stamp designs, including http://www.batz-hausen.de/muceng.htm.

Just a follow up to Bee See's comment. I'm a big fan of Czech issues 1918-1920. Here is the introduction page to my Hradcany stamps which highlights Alphonse Mucha.

A couple from my collection. Not to understate the skill of the engraver etc, but Mucha's art seems to be to be a gift to a stamp designer. How could they not turn out beautiful?

Billsey, here are the next two pages of my Hradcany collection. I use Vario stock sheets for both the stamps and self generated information pages. The biggest drawback is having to trim the 81/2 X 11 powerpoint sheets to the 10 1/4 X 7 5/8 Vario sleeve. This method works for me because it gives me more flexibility in presentation and I don't have to buy stamp mounts.

Owenthom, thanks! I really need to scan my Czechoslovakia and get it up on my web site.
