Striking design that says everything in a single picture. Hurray for Grammont.

Great design for a stamp. And how progressive to have anti-animal cruelty laws as early as 1850!

Me too, I was impressed when I read the date! The design is too good.

Not something I would have expected from Monaco, but should be more like it on this topic.
