Just want to show the stamps I received on cover yesterday.
Postmarks are nicely placed so I guess in a hundred years
this cover is going to scream PHILATELIC.

The first stamp is quite shocking in a way, perhaps that is the intention, but you can see it is designed nicely.

As are all the stamps / sheets.

I especially like the Josef Hoffman sheet. I am not sure what is depicted exactly (small vanity mirror?) but it reminds me of the old carved ivory cameos, which perhaps it is too.

The stamp is one of Gustav Klimt's best known paintings.
Klimt was a famous Austrian painter.

On the Hoffman sheet the embossing does make it look kind
of realistic.

Well it's a big envelope LB and it seems like every second
Austrian issue is a MS.
Remember when Souvenir sheets were a rarity?
