Unknown cinderella with no text except dates MCMXVIII MCMXXVIII and "28" and "X". Some help with identification.



Many thanks in advance for any help.

I am not sure because I did not see it before, but the dates and allegory point toward 10. anniversary of Czechoslovak Republic established on Oct 28 1918. Jiri

I agree. The arms close to the lady's right hand, look very much like the Czechoslovakia ones.

many thanks for the information

What a beautiful poster stamp !
Wish we knew more on this one.
Has the scent of Alphonse Mucha about this design.

Mucha's poster, (Unable to interpret the iconography)
Looks a little like Princess Hyacynth.

bwdavis - Yours is a 1928 patriotic letter seal based on a 1919 unissued stamp design by the painter František Kupka.

Alfons Mucha did of course design some early Czech stamps, although this doesn't look like his work.

florian,
thanks so much for the ID, fabulous subsidiary information.
Well done!

rod222 - Thank you. Kupka's design shown in https://goscf.com/t/63962 reappeared in the form of another letter seal in the original colours in 1938 with years 1918 - 1938, the inscription DVACÁTÉ VÝROÈÍ ÈSR = Twentieth Anniversary of the C/zecho/S/lovakian /R/epublic/, and the imprint dle Fr. Kupky z 1919 Rijaèek 1938 Neubert Smíchov = after Fr/antišek/ Kupka 1919 /Jaroslav/ Rijaèek 1938 /Václav/ Neubert /& Sons Printers/

Kupka's 5 K design in http://knihovna.filaso.cz/tribuna_f..._1922_21.pdf showing Czechoslovakian legionaries in Italian, French, and Russian uniforms reappeared in the form of a brown-and-blue patriotic letter seal in 1937 inscribed PAMÁTCE ÈS. LEGIÍ = In memory of Czechoslovakian Legions, 1914 - 1920, bearing the imprint dle Fr. Kupky z 1919 1937.

Re your Alphonse Mucha poster iconography in my interpretation: Mother Czechia adorning her 10-year-old daughter Republic with a floral wreath.

Thank you Florian,
I'll take some time tomorrow morning to go through your links.
I like the Equus stamps, not so much the modern, I never took to Picasso either.

Alfons Mucha remains my most admired artist, (rejected by the Prague Acadamy of Art...sheesh)
I grew up with his work on the wall of my flat, when studying for my Land Agents Licence.
They still take my breath away, even now.




How wonderful.

rod222 - Your Mucha Association for the Care of Orphans cinderella was issued in 1925 according to https://www.burda-auction.com/cz/au...-a-karticky/

Again, thank you very much Florian, I'll update my page....Exist 8 colours too !
