Austria Post, and other European Postal Administrations* have issued IMPERFORATE 'BLACK PRINT' versions of issued stamps and souvenir sheets from time to time, in smaller quantities than the issued stamps or souvenir sheets. 

This Austria-Japan* ART Issue of 2009 celebrated 140 years of Austrian-Japanese Diplomatic Relations. The two stamps feature Austrian GUSTAV KLIMT (1862-1918) and Japan's SHOEN UEMARA (1875-1949), both great painters.

                                                 -----------------------------

* Other Austria imperforate 'Black Print' items offered in our eBay Store include EGON SCHIELE (2010) and the 100-year Anniversary sheet for Klimt, Schiele, Moser, and Wagner, who all died in 1918.

Austria Post also produced a BUNTDRUCK (Color Print) of the 2003 Judith I issue, limited to 3,000 pieces, about 2% of the regular issue.

Slovakia issued a similar item in 2016, celebrating the Art of ALPHONSE MUCHA.

                                                ------------------------------

The AUSTRIA stamp reproduces Klimt's fine 1902 work, "Portrait of Emilie Flöge", found now in the Vienna Arts Museum. 

The JAPAN stamp is titled "Autumn Clothing" (Herbstkleidung" in German), completed in 1936, hangs in the Otani Memorial Art Museum, in Nishinomiya City, Japan.  The lacquered PORCELAIN VASE on the left of the souvenir sheet has autumn weeds and flowers in the design.
