Vintage Circa Early 1900s Austria-Hungary Charity Poster Stamp 2 Heller The Peoples Of Austria United In The Catholic Faith. Painted By Josef Reich (1863–1933) Unused Hinge Remnant 50% Original Gum Josef Reich (1863–1933) Was An Austrian Painter And Graphic Artist Active During The Late 19th And Early 20th Century, Known For His Ecclesiastical And Devotional Art As Well As For Designing Fundraising And Propaganda Poster Stamps For Catholic Associations Such As The Unio Catholica And The Piusverein In Austria Hungary. His Name Appears On These Labels As Pinx Josef Reich, Meaning Painted By Josef Reich, Reflecting His Role As The Original Artist Whose Work Was Adapted For Printing. Reich Worked In A Style Influenced By The Vienna Secession And Jugendstil, Combining Bold Flat Color Fields, Decorative Framing, And Traditional Catholic Iconography Such As The Madonna And Child, Saints, And Medieval Clerical Or Imperial Motifs. His Art Served The Catholic Revival And Monarchist Movements That Flourished In The Austrian Half Of Austria Hungary Around 1900 To 1918, When Religious Lay Organizations Used Such Imagery To Promote Catholic Identity, Moral Renewal, And Loyalty To The Habsburg Emperor. Though Not Widely Known In The Fine Art World, Reich Left A Recognizable Legacy In Applied Religious Graphic Art, And His Signed Designs Remain Sought After Among Collectors Of Austrian Catholic Cinderellas And Devotional Ephemera.This Poster Stamp Was Issued In Austria-Hungary In The Early 20th Century As A Catholic Unity Label Emphasizing The Shared Faith Of The Empire’s Many Peoples. The Design Features A Bold Orange Field With A Large White Circular Medallion Framed By Black Elements. At The Center Is A Stylized Chi-Rho Christogram (The First Two Letters Of “Christ” In Greek) Formed By An Upright “P” With A Crossbar, Placed Over A Two-Headed Imperial Eagle Representing The Habsburg Monarchy. Above The Medallion Appears The Imperial Crown, Signifying The Austrian Imperial Authority Combined With Catholic Identity. The Inscription Below, In Latin, Declares “Austriae Gentes In Fide Catholica Unitae,” Which Translates As “The Peoples Of Austria United In The Catholic Faith.” The Number “2” Appears On Each Upper Corner, Indicating A 2 Heller Or 2 Kreuzer Value, A Common Nominal Used On Charity And Propaganda Labels Within The Austro-Hungarian Empire. This Stamp Was Painted By Josef Reich (Born 1871 – Died 1943), An Austrian Artist Known For Graphic Design And Religious-Themed Works During The Late Imperial Period. The Label Likely Supported Catholic Associations Promoting Unity Under The Church Amid The Multi-Ethnic Structure Of Austria-Hungary Before Its Dissolution In 1918.
