This private label, or cinderella stamp, was issued for the 1897 Philatelic Exhibition in Leipzig, Germany. The design features a 'stamp-on-stamp' concept, showcasing an early Thurn and Taxis postage stamp depicting a locomotive, framed by an ornate border with the exhibition details.

Issued during the German Empire, this label reflects the growing popularity of philately and stamp exhibitions at the end of the 19th century. The 'stamp-on-stamp' theme was an innovative way to celebrate both the hobby and historical postal issues.
