Printed on white paper with circle and star watermarks. Signed on bottom. After Alfonse Mucha, Max Švabinský is surely one of the greatest Czech artists of the 20th century. He was born on September 17, 1873 in Krom ěř íž, a small town in South Moravia. There he attended a German school, and then enrolled in the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. From 1910 on, he was a professor of arts at various art schools. His art work primarily consists of drawings in pencil, charcoal and pen & ink, but he also produced a great deal of commercial graphic or applied art and book illustrations. From this large body of work, his stamp designs in particular stand out. Švabinský is especially known for his numerous portraits of famous persons, many of which can be seen on his stamps. Of his more than 70 stamp designs, more than two thirds are portraits. A look at a list of subjects depicted on Švabinský’s stamps gives you the feeling that you are viewing a “Who’s Who” of Czechoslovak history, art and science.
