The topic today in Sunday Stamps-II is Bizarre or unexplainable. I guess somebody else will post the same stamps...
On 15 September 2016, Royal Mail issued a six-stamps set to mark the centenary of Agatha Christie's first crime novel, and also the 40th anniversary of her death.
The Special Stamps depict key scenes and principal characters from six iconic novels: The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, Murder on the Orient Express, The Body in the Library, And Then There Were None and A Murder is Announced.
To add even more mystery, the six stamps contain hidden secrets in the form of microtext, UV ink and thermochromic ink. These concealed clues can be revealed using either a magnifying glass, UV light or body heat and and provide pointers to the mysteries’ solutions.
I have received the two I am posting, but I haven't still had the time to find the hidden clues*... Now I feel like reading again all these novels.
*Explained here.
Now that is cool! An actual mystery on the stamps! It's a bit spooky how the second stamp posted has the shape of a skull "hidden" in it.
ReplyDeleteIf you solve the mysteries, please update us ;-)
Wow, les timbres sont magnifique
ReplyDeleteNow I want to read these books too!!!
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to let us know what the hidden clues were!
ReplyDeleteThese are a winner for mysterious stamps.
I looove these stamps, I'd love them even if I weren't a long time Christie's fan :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm off to buy the stamps.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments! These are really superb stamps. I'm grateful that a friend sent two of these!
ReplyDeleteWow that's so cool to find hidden clues! Reminds me of a stamp that you can taste, from Belgium I think ... let us know please once you find the hidden clues from these stamps.
ReplyDeleteWow, haven't seen stamps that cool for a while. Very nice! Hope you will give us an update if you find the clues and solve the mystery!
ReplyDeleteSo... you can read about the hidden clues here. Not only of the two stamps I received, but of the six stamps of the series. Really cleer series!
ReplyDeleteThere is an augmented reality app - Aurasma - which plays with one of the stamps.
ReplyDeleteThanks, M.
