Description
Austria Scott #331 — Unused Hinged — 20 Groschen “Dürnstein” (1948 Landscape Definitive)
Issued in 1948 as part of Austria’s beautifully engraved landscape definitive series, this 20 groschen stamp features a detailed view of Dürnstein, one of the most picturesque towns in the Wachau region along the Danube River. The design highlights the town’s iconic blue-and-white baroque church tower, surrounding rooftops, and the rugged mountain landscape rising behind them.
Rendered in a rich black-violet tone, the stamp exemplifies the clean lines and finely shaded engraving typical of Austria’s postwar production. The combination of architectural detail and natural scenery makes this issue a favorite among collectors of European landscape and tourism-themed stamps.
This example is Unused Hinged, with full original gum and light hinge evidence on the reverse. The impression is crisp, the color strong, and the perforations clean—an appealing addition to any Austrian definitive collection.
