Like most of the other German states, Saxony also adopted combined typography and embossing for its stamps in the 1860s, but instead of going to Berlin, relied on the Saxon firm of Giesecke and Devrient of Leipzig.
This company subsequently printed stamps for a number of countries and emerged after World War II as the state-owned German Banknote Printing Company of the German Democratic Republic.
