This Polish stamp, issued in 1966, celebrates the nation’s folk woodcut art of the 16th century (“Polski drzeworyt ludowy XVI w”). The rustic brown design reproduces an ancient Polish woodcut depicting a beekeeper tending hives, a scene emblematic of rural life and craftsmanship. Such woodcuts were among the earliest printed images in Eastern Europe, reflecting both artistry and everyday life. The minimalist monochrome style mirrors the simplicity and charm of early folk printing.
