People are used to collect objects of all kinds, from the most unsuspected to the most common, such as coins or stamps. As far as stamps are concerned, for example, the fascination for collecting these small objects is increased by the almost incalculable number of specimens made.
Since 1840, the year in which “Penny Black”, the first postage stamp in history, was made in England, there have been so many prints that have been pasted on envelopes and postal packages. Some of these are collected in the profile @filatelia_grafica, of great inspiration for graphic designers and illustrators.
A palette of colorful backgrounds and the wavy edge of the stamps are the distinctive feature of Filatelia_grafica, within which the illustrations are a world of references and quotations to great events and extraordinary artists. Between a stamp dedicated to the Mexico 68 Olympics and one commemorating the 50th anniversary of the first Rome-Tokyo flight, one can find, for example, reproductions of Keith Haring’s famous work “Radiant Baby”.
There are many inspirations to take inspiration from among the stamps posted by Filatelia_grafica, retracing on a historical line great events of the past, especially sports events.
