In the old days, when not everyone, especially women, did not have enough schooling to write or read a letter, they went to the public scribe. He often had a table on the marketplace or a wee shop close by. San Marino 2002, part of a set featuring traditional occupations.  |

A couple of courting cats in the rose garden - part of a set of stamps issued by Mauretania (or an agency for Mauretania) with the subject of cat fairy tales, in 2002. It looks like a Rotary cogwheel at the upper left.  |

Minnie Mouse is enjoying a visit to the philatelic expo in Japan in 1991. Her outfit looks just lovely.  |

The umbrella is a symbol of protection - safety matches patented in Sweden in 1844. They could be lit only on the box itself. The umbrella also symbolizes protection from rain - they can be lit even when wet.   The birds on the willow twigs are bullfinches. |

This might be the 6th time Monet's 'Lady with the Parasol' has been shown. This time the artist is taking a rest on a big blue sofa (I wonder if he had one) in his flower garden with the arched bridge. Monet 1840-1926, for 90 years after he died; an agency souvenir sheet.  |

The internet can sometimes be a very weird place. I came across this whilst searching "embossing" sheesh....... A bit creepy, but I could not, not post. Why do people do these sorts of things?  |
