Louvre Museum Bicentennial Collection of Stamps (13)
1993 was a noteworthy year in the history of world postal services. In order to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the establishment of the famous Louvre Museum, the postal departments of 13 countries jointly issued a series of stamps with the contents of the Louvre Collection of Paintings in accordance with the unified layout design, unified commemorative icons and unified stamp regulations (152 × 190 mm, small sheets 70 × 100 mm), a total of 14 sets and 52 stamps, which is an unprecedented innovation! This is my favorite set of stamp collections of painting stamps, and I recommend it for everyone to enjoy.
