Exhibits of Bedřich Helm a Jiří Stehlík in Public Auction 84

It is with great pleasure that we present two prestigious specialised catalogues featuring the exhibits to be offered in our forthcoming Public Auction 84. Both exhibits share a common theme – air mail during the period of the First Czechoslovak Republic. Each, however, approaches the subject from a different perspective and focuses on a distinct area of this fascinating field. They therefore complement each other exceptionally well and, together, form an outstanding offering in this important and highly popular area of Czechoslovak philately.
