That Austrian is a nice set Nells, a perfect example of the art of engraving by one of the best, Rudolf Toth.

Looks like you're concentrating on Austria going by your posts on the Trains and Auto threads.

LITHO - I took a copy of SCOTT out of the library, and made a list of Austrian stamps that looked nice. I was able to get some of them for a good (aka:LOW) price. I now have a spread sheet going!

I like these 'pair stamps'

The area around the village of Vix in northern Burgundy, France is the site of an important prehistoric complex from the Celtic Late Hallstatt and Early La Tène periods, comprising an important fortified settlement and several burial mounds. The most famous of the latter, the Vix Grave, also known as the grave of the Lady of Vix, dates to circa 500 BC. This grave had never been looted and contained remarkably rich grave offerings, including a great deal of jewellery and the bronze Vix krater, the largest known metal vessel from antiquity, measuring 1.63 m (5'4") in height. Here is an image of a stamp depicting a detail of the horses on the Vix krater, designed and engraved by Jacques Combet, and issued by France on March 28, 1966, Scott No. 1149, Y&T No. 1478.
