  1. I think nowadays “Comenius” is better know as the name of a European Union school partnership program 😀

    I like the stamps, and especially the one featuring handwriting!

  2. Comenius was centuries ahead of his time, no wonder his name lives on.
    Cool translation of the Chinese stamp. I like the stamps featuring ‘occupations’ from that era.
