1912 Austria-Hungary Poster Stamp Sports Week Abbazia May Unused Two Hinge Remnants 80% Original Gum Small Crease Upper Right CornerThis Poster Stamp Was Issued To Promote The 1912 Sports Week In Abbazia, A Coastal Resort Town On The Adriatic Sea That Was Then Part Of The Austro-Hungarian Empire (Now Opatija, Croatia). The Bold, Stylized Design Depicts A Dramatic Seaside Scene With Powerful Ocean Waves Crashing Against Piers Or Breakwaters, Above Which Orange-Red Pennants Flap In The Wind Beneath A Clear Blue Sky. The Word “Abbazia” Appears Prominently At The Top Of The Image In Distinctive Geometric Lettering, While The Lower Section Displays The Event Title And Date: “Sport Woche Abbazia Mai 1912,” Or “Sports Week Abbazia May 1912.” This Stamp Is A Striking Example Of Early 20th Century European Poster Art With Its Use Of Vivid Color, Expressive Movement, And Decorative Text, Reflecting The Era’s Embrace Of Modernism And Tourism Culture. The Sports Week Likely Included Regattas, Motorboat Races, And Other Events That Drew Elite Visitors To This Fashionable Riviera Destination. No Visible Flaws Are Present On The Stamp. Country Of Origin: Austria-Hungary. Visible Text (Rewritten In Sentence Form): Abbazia. Sport Woche Abbazia Mai 1912. Abbazia.
