Stamps seem to be only a marginal postal item in today's fast-moving world. However, they symbolise a cultural asset that creates national identity and at the same time connects the most diverse cultures with each other. These small-format works of art with their infinite range of motifs, occasions of issue and graphic design diversity also offer many people a very individual encounter with art and history.
300 stamps from all over the world - works of art in miniature - are presented to the reader here by the author Dirk Fahlenkamp. In this way, he seduces the reader into an excursion into the world of the Prussian king Frederick II and that of his rivals; in this way, history becomes vivid.
