Description

Released in the mid-90s, this series is a treat for "Fauna" theme collectors. Carmen Paraschivescu depicted the most popular inhabitants of rural farmyards with great attention to detail. The stamps feature muted gray and olive backgrounds with a subtle texture, allowing the colorful plumage of the birds to stand out. It’s a fine example of philately merging educational value with traditional aesthetics.
