"   'Music' Stamps Issued by Austria Carry Protraits of Composers

     Some of the most artistic postage stamps recently come from Europe is a series of what may be called "music" stamps, just issued by Austria. There are seven values, [...].

     The pictures follow a chronological sequence in respect to values. The oldest of this famous group of seven, Haydn, is on the 2½ crown value. Mozart appears on the 5 crown, Beethoven on the 7½ crown, Schubert on the 10 crown, Anton Bruckner on the 25 crown, Johann Strauss, the younger, on the 50 crown and Hugo Wolf on the 100 crown stamp, the highest value in the set. Wolf was a well-known song writer who died about twenty years ago. Bruckner, who died in 1896, was a composer of many symphonies and for years was the organist at Linz.

     As specimens of beautiful engraving these latest Austrian stamps are veritable gems of art, and it would be difficult to find their superiors. [... Wohlfahrtsmarken ...] and, although available for postage at the designated values, are being sold, according to a Paris dealer, at 10 times their face value, the excess being used for some charitable purpose. [... also 2000 Kronen für den Satz (= 20-30 US-Cents) ...].

     The stamps bear no names. The portraits of the musicians form the chief feature in the design, being in a large oval in the centre surrounded by artistic scrolls, with "Oesterreich" in the top panel and the value in the lower panel." (*).
