Description
This is a vintage Polish postage stamp issued in 1952 as part of the 'II Konkurs' series. The stamp features a green background and depicts a portrait of the renowned violinist and composer Henryk Wieniawski alongside a violin. The denomination is clearly marked as 30+15 GR, and the text 'POCZTA POLSKA' indicates its origin and postal service. The stamp has a perforated edge characteristic of collectible stamps.
History
Issued in 1952, this stamp commemorates a competition ('Konkurs') honoring Henryk Wieniawski, a celebrated Polish violinist and composer from the Romantic era (1835-1880). Wieniawski was a child prodigy and a virtuoso violinist who toured extensively. His contributions to violin repertoire are significant, and this stamp serves as a tribute to his enduring legacy in Polish and classical music history.
Facts
The dual denomination of 30+15 GR suggests that 30 GR was for postage and 15 GR was a surcharge, possibly for a charitable cause or to fund the competition mentioned in the series title. Stamps commemorating prominent artists are popular among collectors, especially those with a focus on music or Polish philately. The artistic representation of Wieniawski and his instrument adds to its appeal.
Value Fact
This specific Polish stamp, depicting Henryk Wieniawski, generally falls into the affordable range for collectors. Its value can fluctuate based on condition, rarity of specific print runs, and whether it is used or unused. For well-preserved examples without significant toning or damage, prices typically range from a few dollars to around ten dollars, making it an accessible piece for enthusiasts of musical or Polish postal history.
