  2. And another stamp celebrating the postal system! And a rare hexagonal stamp! That ruffle (?) certainly outlines her face well, but mostly I think of how itchy it must have been to wear.

  3. A hexagon is a nice idea for Columbus. I like frilly ruffs but they would have needed a lot of starch for the upkeep I think.
