This elegant Austrian commemorative stamp, issued in 1969, marks the centenary of the Vorarlberg Embroidery Industry, one of Austria’s most renowned textile traditions. The design features a finely engraved portrait of a woman wearing an intricately embroidered lace veil—symbolizing the craftsmanship of Vorarlberg’s embroidery artisans. Rendered in deep monochrome tones, the engraving showcases exceptional detail typical of Austrian print quality of the era. A. Pilch and R. Toth’s combined artistry makes this a sought-after issue for collectors of textile-themed, industrial heritage, and mid-20th-century Austrian philately. A classic example of Austria’s strong engraving tradition.
