Description: This vintage Polish definitive postage stamp features a forward-facing portrait of Bolesław Bierut, the president and influential leader of the post-World War II Polish state. The complete design is beautifully printed via typography in a single monochromatic rose-carmine ink on unwatermarked white paper. The portrait is nested inside a framed vertical rectangular layout accented by multi-line column borders. The face value and currency unit "15 ZŁ" are integrated into the lower-right section of the portrait background. A solid red banner bearing the capitalized white text "POCZTA POLSKA" spans completely across the baseline of the stamp layout. The specimen displays uniform comb perforations and is heavily struck by multiple black circular handstamp cancellations sweeping over the face and left margin.
