MATTTIDBALL.COM
The story behind this stamp will forever remain a mystery all insoluble. This likeness of Queen Victoria remains mute. I know the story of the last 15 years of this stamps existence, but that hardly matters. The relentless passing of time will extinguish all memory...I think this is the type of contemplation that leads to nihilism...I must stop. :)

well done! excellent detail!!!
I stacked the stamp up on 5 dimes to get it to jump out at the viewer.
impressive macro... the red is riveting & cutout for the shadow! :] ... ... ...ahhhhhh, ok... glad i came back... wanted to look at the date again... been a loooong time since i've looked at my own stamp collection... lol
This is so intrigueing for so many reasons. I studied the design and details in a light you have given us to do so. Great macro. I like how you change it up. Always different and fresh. Your making me wanna shoot more and post some of my own photography. Can't do though. It's not in the program I got going right now. KP
Seems it's one of those little mysteries of life... :) Really super work getting all those details and the jumping out effect :D Well done! :)
Terrific macro! ....maybe another change of the guard soon....
Beautiful work. :)
love stamps..wonderful shot..good idea with the dimes too..S
yes it is queen victoria.. very old stamp you have there possibley late 19th century..as she died in 1901...agree with soulsearcher marvellous idea and beautiful p'graphy and concept... :)...)
Excellent Stamp shot...something I have failed at miserably...."Off with His Head!"
Fantastic macro of this ancient stamp !!! :o) Nihilism, thats a mental disease right ? ;oD
Fascinating!! But so frustrating too! Super macro! I love the details of the paper, so clear and sharp!
Lol! Enmos, I guess you could say that! Nihilism is the doctrine of non-belief - similar to anarchy. soulofharmony - if you look at the ink stamp you can see the date. There is only one city in Manitoba that starts with the letter M-E-L-I and that is Melita.
Interesting how well preserved - being postmarked it must have been used - Great photo work - I can clearly see the paper fibers around the edge -
an excellent presented reproduction work. !!!!!!!!! #:O) !!!!!!!!!
Poststamps, the time youre allowed to lick the behind off the ... etc. :) hihi
Excellent shot my dear friend ,you presented very clear photo of this stamp excellent engraving so we can see effect of dp print as you know in these sort of print you can feel the ink is over the paper by hand , VOTE
