I am quite intrigued by the engraved and illustrated stamps from Czechoslovakia and Czech Republic (Czechia) and have not yet seen a stamp that was a photograph.
I haven't gotten enough Slovakian stamps to see if they have continued this tradition, but looking online, I think they have.

Fascinating observation, and beautiful stamps. My stamps are here: https://envelope100.blogspot.com/2025/01/schultz.html
I think you are right about the stamps from this countries being (always?) illustrations and engravings. Every country has its own postal traditions!
I have chosen a Spanish stamp recently issued; see it here.
I always love the countries that continue the tradition of illustrations and engraving, tiny pieces of beauty.

I really like the mono-colored ones. The fish stem is attractive too.
