Description
This Hungary collection is housed in a 32-page Lighthouse stock book, with about 20 pages filled, and runs from the early twentieth century into the 1980s. The older pages hold Harvesters and Parliament designs, Red Cross semipostals, postage dues, and a good deal of overprinted material, many of them in used multiples. Some stamps are kept in glassine mounts, and there are pairs, blocks and strips throughout, along with a number of souvenir sheets. Anyone who enjoys sorting for shades, perforations and overprint varieties will find plenty of material here.
The larger part of the collection is made up of the thematic sets Hungary issued in quantity from the 1950s onward. Olympic issues are the strongest group, with Summer and Winter Games sets, some in imperforate and triangular formats, and stamps carrying the Moscow 1980 emblem. Sports, space and transport are all well covered, including early bicycles, balloons and airships, aircraft, helicopters, spacecraft and lunar subjects. A set of five sailing ship stamps and several other maritime issues add to the transport material, and many of these sets appear in complete form.
Nature, art and culture fill out the rest of the lot. The nature sets include birds, waterfowl, deer, wild rams, cats and dogs, with a complete sheetlet of ten duck stamps. The art and cultural issues include reproductions of Old Master paintings, the Mona Lisa, Hungarian folk art, porcelain and ceramics, and sets of historical portraits and archaeological pieces. Souvenir sheets for London 1980 and the Rowland Hill centenary of the postage stamp are also present. The lot suits those building a Hungary country collection and accumulators who work by topic, and it has a wide enough range to support both.
