Description: This individual postage stamp features an architectural engraving printed in a distinct monochrome brownish-red or sepia-toned ink on a cream-coloured paper stock. The central illustration captures an elevated perspective of the Tiszalök Dam (labeled in Hungarian as "TISZALÓKI DUZZASZTÓGÁT"), showcasing its heavy concrete locks, control towers, and industrial piers spanning across the active waterway. The upper left corner balances a stylized numeric denomination reading "30 f" (fillér), while a solid horizontal bar stretching across the entire baseline frames the state postal authority text "MAGYAR POSTA". The specimen displays traditional perforated paper borders on all four sides and carries a prominent black ink postal cancellation mark that cuts diagonally down through the upper center of the main structure.
Circa: 1952-1960s
Condition: Used
Notes:
This definitive stamp belongs to a multi-value industrial and architectural series released during Hungary's post-World War II communist era to champion the achievements of their national economic plans. The construction of the Tiszalök Dam was a massive symbolic achievement for the regime, serving as a dual-purpose hydroelectric power station and agricultural irrigation lock system to modernize the region.
