some items from my collections

Below I show some items of my collections. Not due to any value or that they are hard to come by for any philatelist. I´m just a simple collector and some stamps I like better than other for no specific reason. Now and then I will change the pictures which now can be done more easily in this new blog.

Some postcards  with preprinted stamps  

                                                        and   a    danish postcard which was forwarded by postman on horsback. On the backside of the card  the stamps are cancelled with a special text referring to an agricultural exhibition.

This phantastic painting by the baroque painter David Kloecker Ehrenstrahl is from 1695. Still more phantastic is the fact that the worldfamous engraver Czeslaw Slania put this bis painting liflike into the size of a stamp.

Czeskaw Slania was born in Katowice, Poland and worked for the Swedish Postal Service since 1956. His engravings also can be found on stamps from many other countries and above stamp is his number 1000. (swedish readers can read more in my blog here
