1920 Ukrainian People's Republic Postage Stamps Album | Vintage Narbut Vienna Issue Complete Large Sheets Blocks Set of 64 MH

An extraordinary, investment-grade, museum-level philatelic collection from the period of the Ukrainian War of Independence (1920), showcasing the highly desired definitive pictorial series of the Ukrainian People's Republic (UPR), printed in Vienna.
This spectacular archive stands out for its premium, oversized structural formats. Instead of single stamps, the collection is meticulously organized into eight authentic double quarter blocks (blocks of 8 stamps in a 4x2 layout) totaling 64 individual stamps. The set includes two separate green blocks of 8 (10-shahiv), one purple block of 8 (20-shahiv), one light blue block of 8 (30-shahiv), one dark blue block of 8 (40-shahiv), and a large composite right sheet containing three adjacent blocks of 8 for the 1-Hryvnia, 2-Hryvnia, and 3-Hryvnia denominations. The masterfully engraved national designs feature Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky, a Cossack bandura player, traditional rural landscapes, and independence allegories. The collection is presented alongside a vintage deep blue collectors' stockbook album embossed with gold lettering and the official "Ukrposhta" state postal emblem. All items are in premium unused Mint Hinged (MH) / Mint Never Hinged (MNH) condition with flawless perforations, pristine colors, and wide sheet margins.
