Today I have a small selection of beautiful Czechoslovakia stamps... the attention to the detail and the quality of the Artists is a well known attribute of the Czech School of Designers and Engravers... It is the first time I look to Czechoslovakia stamps with this "new" approach (my interest for Designers and Engravers is recent... as you know..) These stamps offers us great complexity , with many artists working in just one series... it required several hours of "digging" just to give you the correct data about the first series I present here today...
These are stamps from the series (13) 1954 "Professions"
Perf : 12.5 x 12 or 11.5 x 11

Just one stamp is missing (45h) in the series above .. As you see, 9 Designers and 5 Engravers have worked in the series... this richness of human resources, and the different combinations of Artists are aspects that contributed to the Uniqueness of Czechoslovakia stamps...
Currently , there are many InterNet sites ,Study's , International Philatelic Club's and articles dedicated to Czechoslovakia Philately.. it only show us the great vitality and the constant renewal of the number of Fans... there is a large quantity of stamps available at a low or very low price , what make's it even more appealing..
These are stamps from the (5) 1956 "Five Year Plan".. Now we can see very detailed designs of complex Urban and Industrial Architectural Landscapes.. the focus here goes to the successive plans ,with great emphasis in the energy and structural development , that take place in the Countries of the former Soviet Union during the 50's and 60's...
