Item Description

The iconic "ALBATROS" stamp series from Uruguay is a stunning example of ART DECO DESIGN IN PHILATELY, featuring the sleek, geometric aesthetic of the era.

What makes this series even more remarkable is that it was designed by ARCHITECT JUAN ANTONIO SCASSO, whose signature appears at the bottom of the imprint. Scasso is internationally recognized as the architect of the ESTADIO CENTENARIO, built for the FIRST-EVER FIFA WORLD CUP IN 1930, now declared a MONUMENT OF WORLD FOOTBALL.

Certain values in this series are highly valuable due to their scarcity. Notably, the $1.90 VALUE, of which 10,000 COPIES WERE PRINTED, saw 8,045 DESTROYED, making it one of the rarest issues.

An outstanding piece for collectors of URUGUAYAN PHILATELY, ART DECO DESIGN, AND FOOTBALL HISTORY, linking stamp design with one of the most significant milestones in the history of soccer.
