Let's See Your Cinderellas!

LaoPhil, you've got some beauties, especially the International stamp exhibition, Le Havere, France, 1929!

Thank you very much, IndianGoldEagle, for your warm words!


Pierre Eugene Marcellin Berthelot (1827 - 1907) was a French chemist and Republican politician noted for the Thomsen–Berthelot principle of thermochemistry. He synthesized many organic compounds from inorganic substances, providing a large amount of counter-evidence to the theory of Berzelius that organic compounds required organisms in their synthesis. Berthelot was convinced that chemical synthesis would revolutionize the food industry by the year 2000, and that synthesized foods would replace farms and pastures.

I have a loose collection of "monsters" of various sorts on poster stamps. Here are a few:

Nils, I love those! Awesome stamps.

@Stampdoc, thanks! Here's a curious one... I don't think this snowman was meant to look evil, but it certainly seems to me like he's about to devour that fashionably dressed young lad (it's a clothing advert)... yikes...

wow these are all incredible designs!

I'd like to share a set of cinderellas that I created myself just recently for the Lexington-Concord 250th sesquicentennial last April. They are printed by a color laser printer on pre-gummed pre-perforated sheets. I'm working on some cacheted covers for them. Lemme know what ya think!

Very beautiful. A very good work. Congratulations! Please, let me know if you want to sell a set of them. I'm a keen collector of cinderellas. See my long running thread on Barcelona & Catalonia ones.

thanks Cursus!

yes I would sell/trade for sure but I think that I need to get my total posts beyond 50.. I have just a handful so far.

I'll post a few more images...

Here I created a souvenir card for the stamps with faux cancellations and an updated Bicentennial logo in the lower-right.

and I couldn't resist seeing them as old-school bi-color stamps on souvenir card #2...

Cursus, I looked at some of your Barcelona-Catalonia cinderellas.. wow very cool stuff! I'm just learning about this genre so thanks for sharing.
