Abstract:
A sheet of 10 stamps with perforated lines. Stamps feature the same color illustration of what appears to be the battleship Viribus Unitis's mast, each stamp with different colors. The mast is black with a black flag next to it with a red Cross of Lorraine, possibly Hungary's flag. The masts have a red or white ribbon around it with the words "Viribvs Vnitis, Anno XII E.F." on it. Each stamp's background color differs. Under the image is a colored rectangle with the words "10 centesimi per i tvbercolosi poveri" in one or two different colors, depending on the stamp.
