I ordered these to get the first stamp shown, but the whole set, uncanceled and in perfect condition, is so well-done that I wanted to share them all with you. I think that they are of interest not only because of their subjects, but as lovely little works of art. I wish I knew who the artist was.

I just googled his name and found this information: “Kekesi Laszlo (1919-1993), Márton’s working colleague, was a graphic artist, designer of stamps, artist painter, church painter and designer of stained glass windows. He is credited with the design of 250 Hungarian stamps and nearly 500 stamps of other countries.”
Thank you! Márton was a yes, my grandfather’s master and his friend, they resided in the same house. You may look at the work of the rest of the foreigners if you click on my name.

Susan,
How do you enjoy these stamps? Do you display them? Keep them in books that you flip through sometimes? How? =)

Right now they’re in clear plastic envelopes. I’ll probably mat and frame them at some point.
