Does anyone have a favourite era for cinderella designs? I know it's a sweeping generalisation, but the 1930s cinderellas tend to catch my eye. ------------- With a memory full of ships, and seas, and perilous headlands, and the shining Pharos, he must apply his long sighted eyes to the petty niceties of drawing. - Robert Louis Stevenson |

Perhaps late Victorian up to 1925. A bit broader range than Hilary. Nice decorative scrolly, floral, classic designs. The 1930s for poster stamps though. Advertisement type stamps were in a class of their own then. Modern ones don't cut it quite, but there are exceptions. ------------- https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Discworld-Stamp-Collector/809424215750892" rel="nofollow - The Discworld Stamp Collector on FaceBook Have a look! |

I would suggest the 1910s. Here are 3 very attractive examples. I'm not sure precisely what the first one is for but it is Austrian and shows a William Tell theme but it makes mention of Achduke Karl Franz Josef who became the last Emperor of Austria in 1916 after his grand-uncle Emperor Franz Josef died. He was also nephew to Achduke Franz Ferdinand who was heir to Franz Josef until he was assassinated on 28th June 1914, a date shown on the stamp. The second is for a decorative arts trade show in Munich. The third is an iconic design for the International Hygiene Exhibition held in Dresden in 1911.  |

| I like the poster stamps from the 30's & 40's too. Probably because I've always loved travel posters and ads from that era. |
