The
Annaberger Kät is a folk festival that takes place annually for 14 days after Pentecost in the town of
Annaberg-Buchholz in East Germany. The
Kät is known well outside the region and is one of the oldest folk festivals in Germany, having begun in 1520. This stamp was issued last year to commemorate its 500th anniversary.
These stamps are a Croatia-China joint issue from 2007, to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. On the left, you can see a stone with the word China carved in the Glagolitic script; on the right, a papyrus with the word
Croatia (
Hrvatska) written in the Chinese script.

These stamps belong to a series featuring the Spanish provinces. I had already shown some of them (
here,
here...). If you know a bit of Spain, maybe you can recognise some of the typical things depicted. Or maybe not, becacuse the stamps are far too small for so many details!

Most interesting lettering, the Croatian one looks almost Hebrew. Nice to see the rest of the provinces set, love them and wondered about the letter significance, cool.
ReplyDeleteIt seemed Hebrew to me at first sight, too. I didn't find any sense until I looked for more information about that issue.
DeleteI've been studying those provincial stamps for clues... you're right, they are too small, but I think the designer has done a good job.
ReplyDeleteI don't know where you live, but Valencia is my favourite city and I recognize those images.
I used to live in València (the city, not the province) some years ago. Some stamps of this series look better than others to me; I love those oranges on the València stamp!
DeleteI live not really far from València, but I haven't been there since Mars 2020.
You have shared some great stamps for the theme!
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
