To follow up yesterdays post about the wonders of India, here’s another extremelely beautifull cover from India. This time the stamps celebrate Rampur Raza Library.
I know many (European) stamp collectors dislike Indian stamps, but personally I love them 110%. I agree that “head stamps” (=portraits of men/woman) of any country are somewhat boring in design, but when moving to topicals issues…Well, then current Indian stamps are very hard to beat.
Few weeks back I did something unordinary, and bought this fabulous item for 55 AUD (+ postage). Normally I don’t spend this much on single item, but IMO this is truly attractive piece of philatelic history and worth it’s price.
My friends in India have sent me some nice covers.
