I hope you have enjoyed the series of Roy Lichtenstein's postcards & stamps this week! The stamps were issued on 24 April 2023. You can read a bit about the artist and the stamps on the USPS site. It must have been very difficult to choose only five works by this artist.
The five postcards were written on 7 May, and were postmarked on 8 May. Each postcard bears several postmarks on each, made by hand and by the postal machines.
You would suppose that the postcards arrive together. Well, that is not the case:
- Postcards #3 and #5 arrived on 16 May;
- Postcard #1 arrived on 23 May;
- And postcards #2 and #4 arrived on 30 May.
Why 5 similar postcards posted at the same time in the same place reach the recipient in three rounds, two weeks apart?!?
One of many many many postal mysteries!!!
ReplyDeleteWe'll never know! We have already a big collection of postal mysteries, don't we? ;)
