This elegant two-stamp set issued by Deutsche Bundespost in 1977 celebrates "Jugendstil"—the German expression of Art Nouveau. The 70 Pfennig stamp features a stylized female profile adorned with flowing hair and ornate headgear, evoking the sinuous lines and symbolism typical of the movement. The 90 Pfennig stamp depicts an intricately designed Art Nouveau chair framed by curving floral motifs, emphasizing the harmony between function and beauty. Both designs reflect Germany's contribution to the international decorative arts at the turn of the 20th century.
