Greece · 1914 · Various

This collection includes two significant early 20th-century Greek semi-postal sets. The first set (B1-B4) features allegorical designs representing Tragedy and History, with surcharges benefiting the National Welfare Fund. The second, larger set (CB1-CB10) depicts mythological scenes of flight, such as Daedalus and Icarus, with surcharges supporting the National Fleet Fund and early aviation efforts.

Issued during a period of national expansion and conflict, including the Balkan Wars and World War I, these stamps raised funds for critical national welfare and military initiatives.
