Czechoslovakia · 1918 · 3h

This stamp features a view of Hradčany Castle in Prague, as designed by the renowned artist Alphonse Mucha. It is part of the first series of definitive stamps issued by the newly formed nation of Czechoslovakia. The design, with its distinctive Art Nouveau style, symbolizes the country's new identity and cultural heritage.

Issued in December 1918, this was the very first postage stamp of Czechoslovakia, released just weeks after the country declared its independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the end of World War I.
