czech

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.

from 1955

jewellery

glassware




and from 2003, these aquarium fish which I believe are angel fish

    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.
