As a child, I remember a large poster sized piece of stamp sheets that my grandfather had hanging above his stamp desk. They were all florals, all white, and may, in reality, been a whole sheet that was in the smaller sizes, reconstructed, matted and framed? and I've looked back through the catalog of US from the 30's - 40's and I can't find them. The one image I remember was magnolias... similar to the modern ones Jeff posted in this thread earlier on page 9. Can anyone help? |
