Issued in June 1920 during the Weimar Republic, this engraved definitive stamp from the series "Representative Figures of the German Empire" features a detailed depiction of the imperial post office with equestrian elements and architectural grandeur, symbolizing the organizational power and prestige of the state. Designed by C. Frenzel and printed by the Reichsdruckerei in Berlin, the stamp is rendered in medium sienna and measures 37 x 27 mm. It bears the upright lozenge watermark and is perforated 14½ using a comb method. The stamp reflects the artistic and ideological transition from the imperial era to the republican phase in post-World War I Germany. The example offered here is mint never hinged with full original gum, crisp engraving, and well-aligned perforations. It is catalogued as Michel DR 117, Scott DE 116, Yvert et Tellier DR 117, Stanley Gibbons DR 138, AFA DR 118, and Unificato DR 117. With its classical aesthetics and clear historical context, this stamp is a valuable representation of early 20th-century German philately. Estimate "$38 – 48"
