100 years since the sinking of the Titanic
The main motif of this unusual philatelic product is the Titanic heading towards the iceberg, while the stamps show parts of the liner. In the top right corner there is a portrait of Dr Lengyel and the outline of RMS Carpathia. The unusual feature of this release is that, in addition to offset printing and embossing, iridescent spot-varnish screenprinting, usually a security device, has been used and the particles scattered across the surface sparkle icily. The first day cover for the block features a portrait of Dr Árpád Lengyel, while the silhouette of a lifeboat has been used for the special postmark.
