  1. I really love seeing stamps written in different languages (probably, one of the reasons why I love philately). And you found a beautiful array of them!

  2. I’ve now googled Manuel I – He was an interesting character. The Italian stamps are busy, but in a pleasing way. The Chinese one has interesting characters all over the stamp!
