Issued by the Republic of Austria in 1978, this striking 6 Schilling commemorative stamp honors the 30th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948–1978). Designed by W. Seidel and engraved by Stefferl, the artwork portrays a series of human hands rising from bondage — a powerful visual metaphor for liberation, dignity, and the universal struggle for freedom. The deep burgundy tone enhances its emotional impact, symbolizing both suffering and hope. The stamp stands as a poignant reminder of Austria’s postwar commitment to human rights and international cooperation.
