Historical Stamp Design Styles

Add caption

* The top deign titled "Monte Carlo" is art nouveau, the defining characteristics being an illustrative and very decorative design. The design is also very elegant, typical of art nouveau.


*The stamp to the right of the montecarlo stamp is also very much art nouveau for the same reasons as the other stamp.


*The lower left stamp would be considered art deco for the abstracted yet still elegant form. The font also gives the historic design type away.


*The small collection of stamps in the bottom right corner would also be considered art deco mainly because there are elegant organic curves  that interact with the subject of the design. There are bright colors incorporated with the design.
