Vignette for "XIIme Congres Postal Universel" 1947

This small woodcut print, created in 1947, depicts a postage stamp with a French horn design overlaid by a circular postal mark that reads "MAI JUIN." The stamp is framed by a textured, irregular border, creating a visual illusion of a piece of paper with a torn edge. M.C. Escher, a Dutch graphic artist known for his intricate and often paradoxical works, created this small vignette in a style characteristic of his signature graphic art.
