Florian, I'm beginning to understand now what you meant by "camaieu" being an intentional overlapping of primary colours to create another ie Blue+Yellow=Green etc compared to accidental "bleeding" caused by as you say uneven wiping of the cylinderRegarding the Hitler face surreptitiously engraved on Austria Scott 388 & 389 I have heard of that too and could never really see it. After I scanned it a couple of years ago I thought I could see something but who knows. Here is my scan. I see the eyes and the hair but not the steel helmet. I guess one sees what one wants to see. What I really want to know is, who was the engraver.  |

For some reason Austria issued no more Christmas stamps between 1954 and 1963. But this 1958 Day of the Stamp semi postal showing the Kitzbühel Post Office in a snowy Tirolean scene seems Christmas related. And since it was issued on December 6, it was intended for Holiday mail. Designer : S. Koller Engraver : Georg WimmerScott B300 |

Going through my grandfather's old albums again I noticed this thing and my first impulse was to just crumple it up and dump it. But when I located it in Scott and found there were no perfs but that the stamps were rouletted ,I figured the fault lay not in the poor stamp but in the separation method. And because I really liked the engraving I therefore gave it a stay of execution.  Here is Brazil Scott 628, issued on May 8, 1945 for the Victory of the Allied Nations in Europe. Scott titles it Tranquility but when I googled Saudade it mentioned that the word is almost impossible to translate properly from the Portuguese. Designer & Engraver : ??  |

I have always though that this set especially the S3 and S5 were one of the finest examples of stamp engraving. Issued for the 100th Anniversary of the Society of creative Artists(Künstler)in Vienna. From the designing and engraving team of Adalbert Pilch and Rudolf Toth.Scott 662 - 665 1961     Below is the entire The Triumph of Ariadne by Hans Makart  |

These were bi coloured engraved stamps which was rare for Austrian stamps When I see this bleeding of ink I'm thinking Giori press.   But why acquire a press which is capable of multicolour engraving and then don't make use of it ? Florian, Glenn Morgan, what do you think ? |

Pair of Swedish stamps issued for the 100th Anniversary of the first telephone call by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876. The stamps show old and new telephones. Note that the rotary dial phone was considered new 36 years ago. I would guess that 75% of the population today has never actually seen or used a rotary dial phone. Engraver : Zlatko Jakuš Scott 1157, 1158  |
