It is sourly a know fact [ by the Czeck Post personal and the Engraver ] but I didn't realize it until now , so I think it could be a fact of interest...

I will begin with some stamps from China PRC..the stamps are from a beautiful definitive series from 1981/1983 "China Scenery"
when I was ' surfing ' the Net , trying to find available data for Chinese stamps, I noticed that prices of the stamps from the beginning of the 80's are starting to rise, with some commemorative series already at high prices.. I think that we have to live with this fact , and eventually all stamps from the 80's will reach higher prices , due to the increasing demand..
[Des] This beautiful landscapes were designed by Chen Xiaocun and Jiang Weijie.. I managed to get all the data I want but in this particular case , I cannot specify what stamps have been the work of each of the Artists ( same thing with the engravers..)

The rest of this post is dedicated to Colombia stamps.. I want to highlight the influence of some British Printing Houses in this period of time of Colombian Philately... Company's like Waterlow and sons, Perkins Bacon & Co. and Thomas De La Rue capitalize most of the work from the early days until the 30's , 40's..
This first stamp I have to present , is damaged , I know (!) but it is beautiful...!! I don't know what is the purpose of the Hand writing , but it ruins the stamp (At least that's what I think..).
the stamp, showing us the Tequendama Waterfalls , belongs to series (2) 1917 "Landscapes (??)"
For these Colombian stamps , I could not manage to get Designers and engravers data... in this case , even the Printing is unknown .
