Sunday Stamps: Head shots

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.  It's a cool cloudy day in the American Midwest, and time for Sunday Stamps.

The theme today is head shots - people featured on stamps.

Meet Constance Baker Motley.

Constance Baker Motley (September 14, 1921 – September 28, 2005) was the first African American woman known to have argued a case before the US Supreme Court and the first to serve as a federal judge (in the Southern district of New York).

Sunday Stamps: Military

 It's Sunday, and time for Sunday Stamps.

Veteran's day (Remembrance Day in Canada) is tomorrow. So on this rainy day in the American Midwest I am sharing the stamp I last shared in 2020.  Not of a soldier but of a battleship.

The battleship Missouri, commissioned June 11, 1944.  Affectionately named "Mighty Mo", as she was heavily armed and could attain high speeds for a vessel of her size.

She is known for the role she played in the end of the Pacific part of WWII.  On Sept. 2, 1945, military officers from each of the Allied powers and Imperial Japan met on the deck of the Missouri and signed documents confirming Japan's surrender and the end of the war.

Sunday Stamps: Mustaches

 It is a cool and sunny morning in the American Midwest, and time for Sunday Stamps.

The them today is Mustaches.  I have a stamp and surrounding material I last shared in 2014:

Sent to me by a Postcrosser form France.  Benjamin Rabier is associated with the Laughing Cow, and here is part of his Wikipedia entry:

Benjamin Rabier (1864–1939) was a French illustrator, comic book artist and animator. He became famous for creating the logo for Laughing Cow Cheese (La vache qui rit), and is one of the precursors of animal comics. His work has inspired many other artists, notably Hergé and Edmond-François Calvo.

A native of La Roche-sur-Yon, Vendée, Rabier started to work as an illustrator for various newspapers after meeting political cartoonist Caran d'Ache. His first album for children was the story of Tintin-Lutin, published in 1898, which told of a young lutin or "imp"; here his main characters are human and not animals, as they came to be in later albums. His most famous creations are Gideon the duck and the characters he drew for Le roman de Renart.

Fun!

Have a good week, everybody.

Sunday Stamps: Public buildings

 ... A palace in fact.

Hello and welcome to my blog.  It is a cool and sunny day in the American Midwest.  It's time for Sunday Stamps, and the theme is public buildings.

The US Postal Service has no current stamps that fit the theme, so I looked at my old blog entries, and found these stamps from Russia, issued in 2013:

These stamps came from a Postcrosser in St. Petersburg, on a postcard sent to me in 2014.  The bottom stamp, I am pretty sure, is of the Winter Palace.

Have a good week, everybody.
