The question regarding engraving was for the Austrian ones Nells, even though your question was asked a few months ago here goes. If you're referring to the local fruit set, they were printed photogravure. I believe they were supposed to be the first of a new definitive series but the feedback from the public wasn't positive so it wasn't continued. Scott 778 - 783 1966 Carlos Riefel was the designer   |

It's French food. They're fabulous stamps. I had a hard time uploading them because they were so many gigabytes above what's acceptable. I wish I could make them 'close ups'. |

ZIPPER - depending on how computer savvy you are, you can crop the main image, etc, and end up with multiple images showing fewer stamps at a time. That way, you can stay within the size limits, but have larger images of the stamps themselves. |

Just arrived via postcard... I think those are cocoa beans, and women putting together boxes of chocolates. I looked it up and all I know is it is part of a sheet commemorating the Albert Heijn supermarkets.  |
