The moon that Luna 1 missed in 1959. The Soviets expected the Luna 1 to impact the moon, but instead became the first human made object to orbit the sun, where it continues today (between the sun and mars)
Maybe travelling closer to home, Lake Balaton, the largest lake in central Europe, and a favourite tourist destination. One feature of the area is an echo that could be heard from a certain point from the sound bouncing off the wall of the abbey. Today, with all the newer construction it is less evident. There was a famous poem written about this phenomena by Janos Garay and I wonder if that is what the mysterious paper and feather (pen?) indicates?

The first stamp, and the story behind, is fascinating. And I also wonder what that feather and paper means!
See my stamp here. I realise now that I have posted two sculptors in a row!

I would guess the pen and paper refer to that. The poem must be quite famous in the country if so.

Something romantic about Luna 1 still orbiting. I think you are right about the pen and paper, (lovely poem) I have another stamp from the set which has a different symbol.
My M is here,/a>
