This classic Greek 1 Drachma stamp features the celebrated depiction of Hermes carrying the infant Dionysus, inspired by the ancient sculpture attributed to Praxiteles. Issued during the early 20th century (circa 1911–1923), this design belongs to the widely collected "Hermes & Baby" definitive series. The stamp is finely engraved in blue, with ornamental Greek key patterns framing the central figure. A popular issue among Hellenic philately collectors, it reflects Greece’s revival of ancient mythology in its national iconography.
