Modernist Abstract Trial Print Block Produced By The Postage Stamp And Printing Service Of PTT Berne As Part Of Their Rotary Press Calibration Procedures, Most Likely Dating From The Mid-To-Late 20th Century. This Vignette Features A Geometric And Concentric Design In Varying Shades Of Red, Centered Around A Radiating Orb With Fine Line Engraving That Showcases The Precision Capabilities Of Steel Line Etching. The Design Incorporates Curved Wave-Like Patterns On The Left And Angular Cross-Hatch Structures On The Right, Framing A Central Sphere Whose Radiating Lines Emphasize Depth And Balance. At The Top, A Horizontal Bar Crosses Vertical Strips, Possibly Suggesting The Swiss Cross In Abstract Form.
