He was a well-known Third Reich artist whose Gothic style art was bold and dramatic. Source: Wikimedia Jan Piwczyk Jan Piwczyk (1897 - 1972) was born in Poland. He worked for the Polish stamp printers PWPW in Warsaw, where he started engraving stamps in 1937. From 1943, Piwzcyk started engraving for the Government Printing Works in Berlin, Germany. In 1951, Piwczyk engraved the well-known Posthorn definitives of West Germany. Despite the fact that such designs would normally be mainly etched, Piwczyk actually engraved all the fine lines of this design. Piwczyk’s final (known) stamp engraving dates from 1953; a single value for the West Germany set promoting the Transport Exhibition in Munich. After that, Piwczyk would move to the printing company Giesecke & Devrient in Munich. Source: stampengravers.blogspot.com Mi.887 (54+96 Pf).
