Wonderful artwork from James Gurney on this 1997 15-stamp sheet. The top half of the sheet represents an imagined scene in Colorado, U.S.A. 150 million years ago, while the bottom half features a possible scene in Montana 75 million years ago.
Piggyback Space Shuttle Express Mail stamp from 1998. PostBeeld has just acquired a great collection of American stamps.

The stamps above show items from the collection of the Dresden Transport Museum. As one of the first cultural institutions in the German Democratic Republic (GDR), the Transport Museum was founded in 1952 in direct connection with the establishment of the University of Transportation (Hochschule für Verkehrswesen) after the Second World War. However, its roots can be traced back to 1877, when the collection that later became the Saxon Railway Museum (from 1902) was started.
