| Abstract: | The Yemen Arab Republic commemorated the 200th. birth anniversary by issuing a set of six stamps and two miniature sheets. These show various known and unknown portraits like the Neidl stippled engraving of 1800 and the portrait of Beethoven's mother by an unknown artist. Other values show Beethoven being introduced to Mozart and playing the piano at an aristocratic meeting. The 1st. not-so-small miniature sheet portrays Bonn in Beethoven's time and a view of Vienna from the Belvedere. The 2nd. miniature sheet additionally shows a painting of Franz Schubert at a private soiree in Vienna. Tabs in the 1st. miniature-sheet show an anonymous 19th. century Beethoven portrait, the Broad wood piano and the last page of the Moonlight sonata. [excerpt] |
