This Austrian commemorative stamp was issued in 1960 to mark the centenary of Gustav Mahler's birth (1860–1911). It features a finely engraved profile portrait of the renowned composer and conductor, who is celebrated for his symphonies and lieder. The deep reddish-brown design includes elegant laurels and the denomination of 1.50 schilling. Mahler’s legacy bridges the late-Romantic and early-modern periods of classical music. Designed by R. Fuchs and engraved by G. Wimmer, this stamp is part of Austria’s cultural tribute series.
