EDITORS COMMENTS
This Stamp Card print, published by Ottmar Zeihar in Western Australia around 1904, showcases a unique and intriguing collection of stamps that were otherwise difficult for collectors to obtain or afford during that era. The set comprises a total of 180 cards, each featuring the embossed designs of various stamps from countries and regions with low printing runs, making them highly prized and rare among philatelists today. The Zeihar Stamp Cards are an unusual and fascinating example of the early days of philately, or stamp collecting. These cards were not approved by postal authorities due to the embossed stamp designs, which could potentially confuse the function of proper stamps in the mailing process. As a result, used Zeihar cards are exceptionally hard to find. Each card in this montage presents a stunning representation of the stamps' crests, coats of arms, and other distinctive design elements. The cards serve as a testament to the rich regional diversity and the growing interest in communication and postage during the early 1900s. The Zeihar Stamp Cards offer a captivating glimpse into the history of stamp collecting and the allure of exploring the world through the lens of philately.
