Well, that was just supposed to be a joke, because there ARE really visitors from all over the world (of course no stamp collectors!) who think our two countries are one.
But what I meant between the lines - Kassel is a German town. So the Hercules Monument stamp should not be classified under the heading "Austria". |

That is a very lovely souvenir sheet.
Klimt has always been one of my favourite painters.
