Discover the captivating world of Ottmar Zeihar's Stamp Cards from Spain, a unique and intriguing philatelic creation from the early 1900s. These exquisite cards, published by Ottmar Zeihar, offered collectors an opportunity to appreciate stamps from countries they may have been unable to obtain or afford in their physical form. The complete set consisted of 180 cards, some representing smaller countries with very low printing runs, making them highly sought-after and rare collectibles today. The Stamp Cards from Spain are characterized by their distinctive embossed stamp designs, which were unfortunately not approved by postal authorities due to the potential confusion with actual postage stamps.

The cards provide a fascinating glimpse into the philatelic scene of the 1900s, showcasing a selection of unusual and regional stamps that may not have been widely known or accessible at the time.
