Mozart appears on the 5-crown, [fehlt: "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 engravin gthese [sic] latest Austrian stamps are veritable gems of art. Most of the American dealers were ignorant of their issue until recently. [... Wohlfahrtsmarken ...] and, although available for postage at the designated values, are being sold, according to a Paris dealer, at ten times their face value, the excess being used for some charitable purpose.
