Canada 2002 Jean Paul Riopelle Masterpiece with design perforations

Issue date 07 October 2002.

Jean-Paul Riopelle was born in 1923 in Montreal. He began learning to paint at the age of 10 with painter and sculptor Henri Bisson as his teacher. He later attended École Polytechnique de Montréal, Académie des Beaux-Arts and École du meuble. It was at École du meuble, that he met Paul-Émile Borduas, a painter and sculptor who was on the cutting edge of the avant-gardist and surrealist movements. Riopelle quickly embraced the thinking of this new master and joined him, and others, in the creation of Les Automatistes, a group of artists whose works were inspired more by emotion than the reproduction of tangible objects. 

The Riopelle issue also features a hidden copyright date that appears as a drop out in the fluorescent tagging. The Souvenir sheet features a dove made from perforations

Switzerland 2017 200 years of the Bicycle Odd shaped Sheet

Issue date 23 Feb 2017

Today the bicycle is seen as an efficient and highly ecological means of transport that enhances the quality of life. It doesn’t create exhaust or noise emissions and only takes up a few square metres of parking space. 

On 12 June 1817, German inventor Karl Drais from Baden  rode through Mannheim on his self-constructed “running machine” which he patented under the name “draisine”. This invention was soon forgotten but the invention of pedals in 1866 soon led to the development of the high wheel or penny-farthing, which proved quite dangerous and was immediately banned in many places. The modern bicycle took off with the introduction of the rear wheel chain drive in the 1880s.

 Swiss Post has printed two special stamps in black-and-white show both the draisine and a modern bicycle on a odd shaped sheet. One stamp has the former in the foreground, the other the latter.
