This 2004 Israeli commemorative stamp honors Theodor Herzl (1860–1904), the visionary founder of modern political Zionism. The design features a finely rendered portrait of Herzl alongside multilingual titles of his seminal 1896 work “Der Judenstaat” (The Jewish State), shown in Hebrew, German, and Hungarian—highlighting the book’s broad historical influence. Issued by Israel Post, the stamp pays tribute to Herzl’s central role in the establishment of the Zionist movement and the intellectual foundations of the future State of Israel. The clean typography, soft background tones, and red inscription give the piece a dignified memorial quality prized by thematic collectors of Jewish history and Zionism.
