Vintage Circa 1920–1925 Austria Charity Poster Stamp 4 Heller Peter Rosegger (1843–1918) Stamp 2000 Kronen Equal Two Million MNHThis Early 1920s Austrian Poster Stamp Features A Central Black-And-White Photographic Portrait Of Celebrated Styrian Writer Peter Rosegger, Whose Literary Works Such As “Waldheimat” And “Jakob Der Letzte” Captured Rural Life And Social Themes Of Austria In The Late 19th And Early 20th Centuries. The Portrait Is Framed By A Bold Geometric Border Composed Of Alternating Red, Yellow, And Black Triangles Evoking The German National Colors, With The Top Inscribed “Rosegger Marke” In Gothic Script. The Left Vertical Panel Reads “2000 Kronen Gleich” And The Right Panel States “Zwei Millionen,” A Striking Hyperinflation-Era Reference To The Rapid Currency Devaluation That Swept Austria After World War I. At The Bottom Corners, Large White Numerals “4” Appear Against Black Squares, Flanking A Stylized Ribbon In Black, Red, And Yellow. The Label Was Likely Produced As A Fundraising Or Commemorative Issue By A Cultural Or Literary Association, Drawing Upon Rosegger’s Enduring Popularity To Appeal To The Public During A Period Of Economic Instability. The Design Combines Nationalist Color Symbolism With A Socially Resonant Figure, Making It Representative Of Austria’s Postwar Cultural Memory And Economic Climate. Visible Text (Rewritten In Sentence Form): German: Rosegger Marke. 2000 Kronen Gleich. Zwei Millionen. — English Translation: Rosegger Stamp. 2000 Kronen Equal. Two Million. Country Of Origin: Austria Year Of Issue: Circa 1920–1925This Poster Stamp Is Titled "Rosegger-Marke" And Features A Portrait Of Peter Rosegger (1843–1918), The Austrian Styrian Writer, Poet, And Cultural Figure Known For Championing Rural Life, German Language, And Traditional Values. He Was Especially Revered In German-Austrian nationalist circles for his literary work and strong identification with folk culture. The Stamp Includes Several Notable Elements: "2000 Kronen Gleich Zwei Millionen" ("2,000 Kronen Equals Two Million") – This refers to hyperinflation, most likely post-World War I, and may hint at a symbolic or satirical statement about currency depreciation, though the exact context may be metaphorical or tied to a commemorative fundraising campaign. Denomination “4” – Possibly a symbolic value used in a fundraising or commemorative issue, not valid for postal use. Tricolor Ribbon (Black, Red, Gold) – Reflects the German national colors, tying Rosegger to broader German cultural-nationalist sentiments, even though he was Austrian. Geometric Border With Traditional Motifs – Typical of early 20th-century nationalist decorative styles, especially in Austria and Germany. Historical Context: This stamp was likely issued in the early 1920s, probably in Austria, during a time of economic crisis and national reflection following the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It may have been created either by a Rosegger society, a cultural league, or a nationalist press, both to honor his legacy and to raise funds or awareness amid inflationary conditions. Conclusion: This Is A Commemorative Poster Stamp Issued Circa 1920–1925 Featuring Austrian Writer Peter Rosegger. It Combines Cultural Nationalism With Economic Commentary, Reflecting Postwar Inflation-Era Sentiment And Reverence For Rosegger’s Role In Defining German-Austrian Identity Through Literature And Language.We're Happy To Combine Shipping On Multiple Orders To Help You Save!
