The Design Is Rendered In A Rich Bronze-Brown Hue And Features A Classical Allegorical Scene: A Seated Male Figure Holding A Scepter And Accompanied By An Owl, Symbolizing Wisdom, Receives A Sheaf Of Grain From A Standing Female Figure, Representing Agriculture. The Composition Suggests The Harmonious Union Of Nature And Technology, A Key Theme In Industrial Exhibitions Of The Early 20th Century, Highlighting How Electricity Could Serve Agriculture And Industry Alike. The Stylized Typography And Oval Frame Give The Stamp A Distinctive, Almost Medal-Like Appearance, Emphasizing Prestige And Progress. This Stamp Is A Fine Example Of Swiss Exhibition Ephemera From The Pre-WWI Era And Reflects The Artistic Influence Of Jugendstil Design.

Most Of The Poster Stamps And Cinderellas I Offer Are Truly Old Historic Treasures! Many Are Close To 100 Years Old Or More.

That's Especially True For Cinderella And Poster Stamps, So Please Take A Good Look At The Scans Because They're An Important Part Of The Description. Also, Please Note That The Backs Of Poster Stamps Are Typically Considered Much Less Important Than The Fronts, And Descriptions Can Be A Bit Subjective.
