Occasion
DescriptionPersonalized stamp, issued by Mr. José Angel Arbizu (Spain). The stamp shows the engraving of the Battle of Grunwald, made by Slania in 1954-1956 after a painting of Jan Matejko.
Notice:
On the stamp the name of the village Grunwald is written as Grünwald. That is not correct, because the Polish name is written without umlaut (“). The German name of this village is Grünfelde. In the German history the battle is named after another village: Tannenberg, in Polish namend Stębark.
