I've always been fascinated by different calligraphy all over the world! I myself is an enthusiast and I've began learning modern calligraphy.

Stunning colors on that stamp, I love it.

Oh, love this very much. I'm going to look for the rest.

A super message, I love the colour shading on the stamp. Belgium seems to be a country fond of 'words only' on their stamps, I wonder if the Flemish/French divide has an influence on this.

This stamp is wonderful! And it makes me curious to see the other stamps from this serie. I love different alphabets!

Hard to find a picture of them - try this http://lh4.ggpht.com/-BqOpU9GoA-o/U473LjHHQSI/AAAAAAAA-vY/gY97Mx8DxF8/s1600-h/image%25255B8%25255D.png

The other 4 are just as gorgeous, and feature calligraphy in English, Greek, Chinese and Arabic

Great, FinnBadger, thank you very much for this research!
All stamps are very beautiful, gorgeous indeed!
And funny, you mention English, I see Dutch and the words say Latin (Lateinisch in German) :-) Well, at least Latin is the root of our writing :-)

FinnBadger said...

Oops,I didn't look closely enough at the actual words - the latin alphabet, which our two (and many other) languages share

I never looked for Calligraphy stamps. I shall have to revisit what I've got, Lovely stamp(s).

Very nice colors and design. I've managed to post a stamp but was unable to enter it on the linky.
