Irwin's Stamp and Poster Heaven

Stamps and posters are two of my favorite things.  Though they may seem different, they both have a lot in common.  They are works of art--one in miniature and one rather large.  Join me as we explore the beauty of these things!!

The stamps of Great Britain are extremely beautiful.  Theis stamp from 1929 shows a famous scene in British literature--ST. George slaying the dragon.  Notice the intricate and detailed art work of this stamp.

This stamp shows another theme in British stamps--the seahorse.  Since the people of Great Britain are a seafaring people, what better image than a seahorse to represent this.  This stamp, as well as the previous one, are examples of CLASSIC British postage stamps.

This is a world war one poster that is not only beautiful but patriotic as well.  Notice the colorful allegory used by the artist.  This poster is certainly a true work of art.
