one more from Fance

Johann Gutenberg (c. 1400-68)
did not invent printing. After all, the Chinese had already employed various printing methods for centuries, and "block books" were printed in Europe by the early 15th century. Gutenberg was fortunate, however, in that his native language was alphabetic, not ideographic.



and one more from Bulgaria



Bulgaria issued the stamps on this First Day Cover to mark the 500th anniversary of the beginning of Gutenberg's work, ca. 1440, and the 100th anniversary of the first printing press in Bulgaria, operated in Samokov by Nikola Karastoyanov
(Bulgaria, Scott #384-385).

fifia - Great topic. Here is a contribution; I hope you don't mind my posting the entire cover - I think it's worth it!

Sylvester & Tweety, USA Scott No. 3204, on a WARCOPEX stamp show souvenir cover postmarked on September 19, 1998 in Warren, Pennsylvania.

And, since John Glenn has been back in the news recently, here is an image of a souvenir BUFPEX stamp show cover celebrating (a year prematurely!) the 50th anniversary of the USA's first manned orbit of the Earth, postmarked in Buffalo, New York on March 6, 2011. This cover bears the Project Mercury stamp, designed by Charles R. Chickering, engraved by Richard M. Bower (vignette) and Howard F. Sharpless (lettering), and issued by the USA on February 20, 1962, Scott No. 1193, plus two stamps depicting hot air balloons, designed by Davis Meltzer, printed by photogravure, and issued by the USA on March 3, 1983, Scott Nos. 2033 & 2034.
