Postage Stamp - Paintings by P.A. Fedotov - Aristocrat’s Breakfast 1849 - USSR 1976 - Michel 4489 - my hobby.

Greetings friends!

Today, I want to continue showing postage stamps from a series of postage stamps issued in 1976 in the USSR, which depict paintings by the Russian painter Pavel Fedotov.

As I said earlier, in previous posts, according to his paintings, very often, children in schools wrote essays and ridiculed the events they saw in these paintings.

Another postage stamp in denomination of 6 kopecks of the USSR, shows us a picture called Aristocrat’s Breakfast.

It is assumed that the breakfast of the aristocrat should consist of fried hazel grouse, black caviar and sturgeon, but, here, we see, only a piece of black bread.

A proud nobleman, an aristocrat who has lost his fortune, is trying to hide this bread under a napkin from prying eyes, at this moment, someone came to visit him.

I read many comments on this picture, and, from the standpoint of my life and recent events, it seems to me that some people who wrote their thoughts on the Internet about this situation came from Jupiter.

Apparently, they never had to go through difficult moments in their lives and they see in this picture only the worst sides of this aristocrat.

But, I have a deep sense of respect for this person who does not want to show everyone his problems.

I myself, now, in a similar situation, for the last two years, and did not reach out to ask for help. I just ate dry bread and washed it down with water. No one, meeting me, could say that there is no other food on my table except a piece of black bread.

I think that this aristocrat, just like me, believed that these were only temporary difficulties that everyone should not see.

As you can see, postage marks are part of the country's financial system, where they were issued and carriers of various forms.

Sometimes, this information leads to deep reflection, after which, you could take a postage stamp, stick it on an envelope and send a letter to family and friends.

Let's take a look at this postage stamp.

Important!

Please note that the cost of shipping postage stamps to other countries can be many times more expensive than the postage stamp itself, approximately $ 5.5.
I see that it is not profitable to purchase one postage stamp if, suddenly, you need to replenish your collection. It is always more profitable to purchase the entire series, and, surplus, to change, or sell.
If you decide to buy a postage stamp online, be careful. sometimes sellers use stock images. But this option is unacceptable. You need to see exactly the product that you are buying.
If you are afraid that the postage stamp sellers will want to deceive you, you are doing the right thing, do not doubt it.
To get started with this hobby, buy a good magnifying glass, tweezers with flat and thin edges and a stockbook for postage stamps, they will come in handy.
When buying postage stamps, pay special attention to the back of the postage stamp. The adhesive layer must not be damaged.
There is such an expression - How many people, so many opinions, this also applies to sellers of postage stamps. Each of them believes that his postage stamp is in perfect condition, but only you yourself can find the perfect postage stamp for yourself.
Sometimes, a small, white scrap of paper with a round stamp on it and a number inscribed in the center circle can be a very valuable postage stamp from the days when postage stamps were not printed.
The cost of a postage stamp is determined by supply and demand, but usually in catalogs you can see the estimated cost of a postage stamp in Pounds Sterling.

To be continued.
