Los-Nr. 207

Caritas issue of 1936, 10s., pencil drawing by Axel Roosman, 41,5x52,5mm, on perforated cardboard. Arms of Viljandimaa. Caritas heart with 3 flames. Blossoms and leaves around the shield, as an alternative to oak leaves used on the 15S postage stamp of 1937. Reindorff, in his designs for 1939-1940, similarly uses blossoms and leaves as ornaments. The mesh of lines in the blossoms in Roosman's AK-5A is similar to the mesh in the blossoms in Reindorff's AK-17A. Head and tail of the eagle in the coat of arms are turned to the left, in contrast to Reindorff's design on the 10S postage stamp of 1939. With an extra line around a shield pointed at the bottom, similar to the 10S postage stamp of 1937.
