I Have Not Mention Stamps,

for some time,


 mainly because we have not unpacked mine, we are still waiting for various pieces of furniture to arrive before we unpack everything, but back to today, above is The head of Leda (c.1505–08), on view at Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, and it is one of a new set of stamps for the UK, the timeless drawings of Leonardo da Vinci will soon be arriving in mailboxes around the U.K., thanks for a special stamp release marking the quincentennial anniversary of the Italian artist’s death, in tandem with the special stamp edition, twelve cultural institutions throughout the United Kingdom will be showcasing a total of 144 of da Vinci’s works in the dispersed show Leonardo da Vinci: A Life in Drawing, the exhibitions opened at the beginning of February and are on view through May 6, 2019 in Glasgow, Cardiff, Bristol, Leeds, and other U.K. cities, below I posted pictures of the stamps with their credits,
