"Overlooked graphic design: European stamps"

"On my way home, I happened to pass a "Stamp Fair" which sold all sorts of
pretty stamps from all over the world for ridiculous amounts of money
(especially considering, that you really don't need Finnish stamps in
Japan). To my big surprise, I got totally sucked into this bought more than
anybody else!"

This is an amazing article, considering that
the writer says that she is not a philatelist.

A great philatelic page, written by somebody who isn't a stamp collector!

Just to notice that:

- the Romanian set "4th Sample Fair, Bucharest" was issued on Oct. 12, 1962,
Scott 1517-1525, Michel 2105 - 2113.
- also some stamps issued in the Central and Eastern Europe were
esthetically quite interesting, and sometimes really nice.
