a design for a Serbian postage stamp block commemorating the 140th anniversary of Nikola Tesla's arrival in the USA. Left Side: Features a prominent portrait of a young Nikola Tesla with his characteristic mustache, dressed in formal attire (a dark suit and tie/ascot). Center/Lower-Left: The official postage stamp is integrated into the design. It is labeled "СPБИJА" (Serbia) and "ПОШТА" (Post) and has a value of "136" (likely in Serbian dinars). Right Side: Dominates the right half of the image with a detailed depiction of the Statue of Liberty holding her torch high. Background/Aura: The entire scene is set against a detailed, technical background featuring blueprints and schematic drawings, symbolizing Tesla's work in electrical engineering and invention. You can make out gears, circuits, and technical lines. Text: Serbian (Cyrillic): "140 ГОДИНА ОД ДОЛАСКА НИКОЛЕ ТЕСЛЕ У САД" (140 years since the arrival of Nikola Tesla in the USA). This text appears prominently at the top. English: "140 years since the arrival of Nikola Tesla in the USA" is placed in the lower-right corner. The overall style is detailed, classic, and celebratory, blending portraiture with symbolic architectural and technical elements.
