A highly significant, rare, and investment-grade historical collection of vintage postage stamps from Ukraine, representing the definitive pictorial series of the Ukrainian People's Republic (UPR), printed in Vienna in 1920.
The top row showcases highly sought-after large-format pictorial issues, including the Kyiv General Post Office, the Bohdan Khmelnytsky monument, and high-value 60 and 100 Hryven denominations (with a premium margin copy included). The right section features an exceptional, pristine quarter block of 4 stamps (20-shahiv value) depicting a traditional Ukrainian village hut. The center beautifully illustrates provisional and transitional history, showcasing an early charity issue alongside a scarce "10,000 Hryven" hyperinflation overprint. The lower-left rows complete the set with iconic engraved portraits of Hetman Ivan Mazepa and traditional Cossack bandura musicians. All stamps are in premium unused Mint Hinged (MH) condition with full original character and no postal cancellation marks.
