2015Flowers` Alphabet - Set

The postage stamp issue named Flowers alphabet represents an original approach which brings together the traditional philatelic topic of flora and the graphic concept of a head letter or initial, an uppercase letter, usually ornate, used at the beginning of chapters in bibliophile editions. Head letters can be classified into two categories: those which are combined with a floral or animalistic element, strictly ornamental, without reference to the subject-matter of the paragraph they are a part of, and initials whose images illustrate a character or a scene from the paragraph they precede.
