Title: You Can Always Learn About a Country by Studying it's Stamps
Post by: Golden Oxen on April 23, 2014, 09:45:13 am
It is an old saying among stamp collectors that much can be revealed about a country by it's stamps. Miniature portraits and  portrayals of important places, events, scenes that show items of importance to the particular citizens.  How true.
