Issued in 1976, this 4 schilling commemorative stamp from Austria marks the 350th anniversary of the Bauernaufstand in Oberösterreich (Peasants’ Uprising in Upper Austria, 1626). The design, engraved by R. Toth after O. Zeiller, depicts two peasants raising their hands in defiance or prayer as smoke and fire rise over a lakeside village — symbolizing the turmoil of the rebellion against oppressive rule during the Thirty Years’ War. The muted tones and fine intaglio work reflect Austria’s tradition of detailed historical engraving.
