Mauritius 1858 Scott 8 blue "Britannia"

Look at the rich blue on this stamp after 155 years!

This stamp shows no denomination and was never placed in use, but still has a Scott number.

China 2013 World Water Day! The 3 white slashes on the stamp actually form the ideographic representation of water and is found in all chinese characters describing things and actions relating to water.

Hi Robert,
google translater says "Graphic Arts", so I think it is the printer of the stamp, Graphic Arts "Adelphi".
Anyone here with a better opinion?

heinz55,
Thanks for the help. I thought it was something about the printer. Adelphi means brothers, so it could be Aspiotis Brothers. According to www.stampprinters.info, Aspiotis Brothers printed stamps for Greece since 1911.
