Issued by the Republik Österreich in 1979, this elegant 1.80 Schilling stamp depicts a detailed botanical illustration of the blackberry (Brombeere) by artist C. Riefel. Part of Austria’s popular Fruit and Berries definitive series, it celebrates the country’s rich natural flora through delicate rendering and vibrant color tones. The lifelike depiction of ripe berries and serrated leaves captures the precision of Austrian engravers and the artistry of classic mid-century design. A delightful collectible for those interested in botanical and nature-themed philately.
