After designs by Koloman Moser, he worked the engravings for several stamp series. In 1906 he worked on a series of stamps with landscapes of Bosnia-Herzegovina. In 1908 he produced a series of multi-coloured portrait stamps in Art Nouveau style for the imperial jubilee. Schirnböck created postage stamps for other European countries, including Liechtenstein, Norway, Poland, Sweden and designed bookplates, as well as engravings and drawings after paintings. From 1903 to 1922 he was a member of the Hagenbund. Together with Wilhelm Dachauer, he worked on the 100-Schilling banknote of 1927. Lit.: W.
