These beautiful letterpress printed stamps where designed by Gavin Potenza and printed by DWRI letterpress. They use some of the designs from his poster A Field Guide to the Stamps of the World. Potenza says “the stamps were each inspired by various elements surrounding the culture of the countries, including the Swiss-born color theorist Johannes Itten, old French Tarot cards, the Brazilian boardwalk Copacabana, German designer Otl Aicher, Mayan patterns, the Swiss Alps, sweater patterns, and op artist Victor Vasarely.”
