Description

Released in 1999, this series is a masterpiece of sports philately. Designer D. Vangelli employed a style inspired by cubism and artistic posters. The tennis players' silhouettes are broken into geometric planes, while the intensity of the game is highlighted by vertical lines echoing the racket strings and the court net. The vibrant palette ranges from lush greens to deep purples and energetic reds.

Detailed Set Composition (MNH Condition):

• 200 Sh. So: A player mid-stroke, capturing the power of a baseline hit.

• 300 Sh. So: The moment of a serve or overhead smash, reaching towards the ball.

• 2500 Sh. So.: A dynamic volley at the net – the highest denomination in striking red tones.

Why Is This a Perfect Choice?

• Avant-Garde Design: These aren't just sports stamps; their artistic flair makes them a standout in any modern collection.

• Masterful Quality: The combination of Vangelli’s vision and I.P.Z.S. Roma’s printing ensures sharp details and lasting value.

• Topical Appeal: Tennis is a highly sought-after theme, and this set is arguably one of the most unique interpretations of the sport on stamps.
