Litho, I think that is a bust taken from his death mask  certainly is a bit creepy. I think one of the boys from Stanley Gibbons were responsible for some of these labels, Rosenbaum rings a bell somewhere. Maintaining a suitably low standard, can you make a connection with the vignette on this lightly nibbled Yemen Arab Republic and Ludwig?  |

Getting away from Beethoven for a bit, here is something different from Austria. Turandot is an opera in three acts by Giacomo Puccini. Stamp is for the performance at an old stone quarry in St. Margarethen.  |

Marcel Prawy apparently was a famous dramaturge, a word I had never heard of before but according to Wikipedia. A dramaturge or dramaturg is a professional position within a theatre company that deals mainly with research and development of plays. It's amazing what can be learned by looking at stamps. |

José Carreras is a Spanish (Catalan) tenor and the stamp is for his 30 years of performing at the Viennese State Opera Notice also the country is inscribed as AUSTRIA not the usual Österreich.  |

Stamp portrays the conductor Nikolaus Harnoncourt honouring his 75th Birthday. I can never get the gold printing on stamps to show up on the scans. Any suggestions?  |

Well I never! Thanks 22crows. Litho : scanning gold or silver not found a solution yet. In fact after some time, gold and silver is hard to read with the naked eye. A poor option for stamp production. |

Litho, Re showing gold printing, Enhance the brightness possibly(?) on your scan settings or use a camera while the stamps are tilted and reflecting the light. Similar to these Year of Tiger embossed gold-foiled stamps https://goscf.com/t/6799&SearchTerms=tigerBeautiful musical stamps evryone. I must dig my few out. |

Thanks Rod & Puzzler. I also think that using gold or silver
ink or foil is not suitable for stamps.
As far as using a digital camera I've tried and usually don't
get good results even though it works great for coins. |
