123 Essay imageMajor award of the Reichshauptstadt 1941 This print on baryte paper comes from the estate of the steel printer Richard Rackelmann. Rackelmann had engraved the original die for a commemorative stamp of 1941 “Großer Preis der Reichshauptstadt“ (Major award of the “Reichs“Capital). This is the only stamp issued for a horse race which does not depict a horse motif. The drawing of the Brandenburg Gate was designed by Erich Meerwald. This print is unique. Baryte paper bears a special mineral covering. This covering enables extremely fine prints to be taken from the engraved die. (Image)
