Stamp of a Windmill in Hungary
This postage stamp from Hungary (Magyar) depicts a tower mill along northern
European lines probably as a result of German, hence Austrian influence
when Hungary was a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Like late windmills
in northern Europe, the sails show marked twist and the stock or main spar
is toward the leading edge. The millstones are on the second floor. The
International Molinological Society (TIMS) held one of its
international symposiums in Budapest 9-16 Ausgust, 1997. These symposium
often include field trips to windmills such as this.
