Soviet Union Art-Themed Postage Stamps (Mounted)
This item consists of a collection of eight postage stamps from the Soviet Union, mounted on what appears to be a page from a stamp album or an album-like card. The page itself is a muted grey color, displaying some wear and possibly minor discoloration along the edges. Each stamp features a miniature reproduction of what appears to be a classical painting, likely portraits or genre scenes. The stamps are perforated around their edges, a standard characteristic of most postage stamps. Visible denominations include '10K ПОЧТА СССР' and '6K ПОЧТА СССР', indicating 'kopecks', the currency of the Soviet Union. The stamps are affixed to the page, possibly using hinges or an adhesive, and are generally well-aligned, suggesting a curated collection. Some stamps show very minor creasing or slight discoloration, consistent with their age and handling. The overall condition of the stamps themselves appears to be good to very good, with vibrant colors maintained in the miniature artworks. The borders of the stamps are white, providing a crisp frame for the images. The reverse side of the page is not visible, so details on watermarks or other backing characteristics are not discernible. The collection likely dates from the mid to late 20th century, given the 'СССР' (SSSR) inscription, placing its estimated age within the period of the Soviet Union (1922-1991). The theme of 'art' or 'paintings' is common for commemorative stamps, making this a recognizable philatelic subject. The mounting method appears relatively professional for a casual collector, though a professional appraiser would need to assess the means of attachment to ensure no damage to the stamp integrity.
