farm animals
Sometimes stamps look amazingly better when you can see them enlarged. Sometimes not. Still, I rather like these two series of stamps from 1962/63 showing farm animals in Romania.
Below, we have the usual suspects - a chicken, rooster, and a goose as well as a pig, a sheep and a cow.

I remember that ad..... I love the barnyard stamps especially the pig. I have a soft spot for pigs...mmmmm....bacon.
ReplyDeletepoor wee little piggy...
DeleteGosh, I don't remember that ad - but that doesn't mean anything. Yes lots of cow stamps this week, and that is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteThank you for participating!
maybe it was just a Canadian (and UK?) commercial
DeleteI think it's the first goose in today's Sunday Stamps. And maybe the first pig? I like your selection very much.
ReplyDeleteall children's books seem to include a goose in the farm yard, so I was pleased to be able to follow suit.
DeleteWow! more beautiful farm animal stamps.
ReplyDeletethanks
DeleteThese are lovely clear images. That little chick would be a wonderful stamp for an Easter card!
ReplyDeleteyes, I am sorry that it has a distinctive fold line.
DeleteThose may be my favorites of all the stamps I've seen on your blog. They'd make great prints.
ReplyDeleteReally?! They do look like they would make good posters, now that you mention it.
DeleteA real farmyard collection for us to admire.
ReplyDeletewell, a farm should be diverse, yes?!
DeleteThe cockerel looks very fine upon a stamp :)
ReplyDeleteI don't recall seeing the ad before.
my favourite is the chick and egg!
DeleteI agree!Enlarging the stamps make each details visible and see the real beauty of the stamp.

It seems an almost impossible task to get all the details on some of the stamps.
DeleteI just adore enlarged (and enlarging) stamps and what a great farmyard collection. I don't remember the HP advert and suspect it may be pure Canadian beef. I think about that time the UK may have got the beefy heavyweight boxer Frank Bruno instead,
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm glad I could share it to everyone who hadn't seen it before. It is definitely ingrained in the minds of many people I know :)
