Issued by Austria in 1994 for Tag der Briefmarke (Day of the Stamp), this semi-postal stamp carries a denomination of 7 Schilling + 3 Schilling surcharge, the additional amount supporting philatelic or charitable causes. The artwork, designed by O. Stefferl and engraved by W. Pfeiler, presents a vivid desert landscape featuring ancient stone ruins, exotic birds, a baobab tree, and wildlife. The imaginative composition blends architecture, nature, and fantasy—symbolizing exploration and the storytelling power of stamps. A colorful and artistic issue, it is highly appealing for thematic collectors of nature, birds, trees, and architecture. A distinctive addition to Austria’s annual philatelic celebration issues.V
