AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot includes a selection of cancelled stamps primarily from Poland (Polska) and Hungary (Magyar Posta), visible on the front of the presented sheet. The set comprises approximately 40 stamps displaying a wide variety of iconographic themes and graphic styles typical of Central European philately from the 20th century.

The upper part of the sheet features several Polish stamps illustrating birds, including a duck, an eagle, a falcon, and other birds of prey, all drawn in a naturalist style. Other stamps depict animals, such as a cat, as well as fish and doves, demonstrating the diversity of animal motifs on these issues.

Several stamps display portraits of historical figures (bearded men, political or cultural figures), as well as architectural representations and landscapes, particularly buildings, bridges, and stylized urban views. Some Hungarian stamps feature rural scenes or agricultural symbols, recognizable by their motifs of grape clusters or crossed tools.

The color palette is varied: greens, blues, reds, purples, browns, and oranges dominate, with monochrome or bicolor prints. Visible face values range from a few groszy or fillérs to several forints or zlotys, depending on the stamps. Cancellations are present on all stamps, testifying to their prior postal use.

Some stamps bear legible inscriptions such as "POLSKA," "MAGYAR POSTA," anniversary or commemorative mentions, as well as texts in Polish or Hungarian. Motifs also include historical scenes, national symbols, and allegories, typical of state philatelic production in these countries during this period.

The set is presented on a sheet, with each stamp clearly visible on its front, allowing for appreciation of the diversity of themes and graphic styles. No details about the reverse side or hinges are visible in the provided photo.
