Timber-frame houses

The theme for Sunday Stamps is architecture.



This definitive non-denominated stamp from the Czech Republic features timber-frame houses. Z indicates the international rate. I have no idea why the letter Z was chosen. A is used for domestic mail, and E for European destinations.

    1. I wonder if there are any other letters used.

  2. It's slightly different in Spain:
    -A for National;
    -B for European;
    -C for "Rest of the World".

    It seems a stamp ready to be coloured with pencils... :)

    2. It is a fairly small stamp, so wouldn't take too long to color in.

  3. I suppose one could say it travels from A to Z. The letter certainly fits rather nicely with the architectural design.

  4. I guess that these impressive houses are made of wood.
