congratulations - Austria / II. Republic of Austria 2007 - Erste Tarifstufe

Personally written letters and traditional cards have lost in popularity over the so-called "new media" - nevertheless, there are occasions for which the modern forms of communication appear inappropriate. Exactly those who are not just messaging just content. Those who want to express interpersonal closeness. Congratulations for example! What many do not even know: The greeting card has its origins in the late Middle Ages: nuns sent their painted or embroidered images with religious motives to their nearest relatives. Today, there is an unmanageable amount of different motives, all uniting a simple message: to convey to a person the personal congratulations. The new congratulatory long-term mark charmingly points to the joyous occasion and underscores this with a cheerfully drawn bouquet motif. By the way: The stamp shows no nominal imprint. However, it always corresponds to the value of the first postage rate as a standard tariff, even if the tariff changes.
