The illustration was taken from the front side of a 1936 postcard, produced by the Brazilian airline Syndicato Condor, which advertised the trip from Brazil to Europe in just two days in cooperation with Lufthansa. It was picked up from Alexios Papadopoulos’ Twitter account. Alexios, a postal history and aerophilately enthusiast, has also provided us with last year’s illustration for our Season’s Greetings.

The Italian Association of Postal History (AISP) once again organised its yearly members’ meeting and exchange of Season greetings.
On Saturday, 16 December, the event was accompanied by an important seminar, which emphasised the collaboration with the Real Academia Hispanica de Filatelia e Historia Postal (RAHPEHP). Four papers were presented, respectively by Giacomo Bottacchi on ‘The precursors of Italian postage stamps – types and uses of Sardinia labels mod. 200 bis’; David González Corchado on ‘The major Postal services of Spain and the postal services of Habsburg dynasty in Italy (1505-1716)’; Michele Passoni on ‘Papal States: postal privatisation, smuggling and finding of letters’; José Antonio Herráiz on ‘Against the plague, prayers and more… – Rules for the disinfection of correspondence in Spain during the Marseilles plague of 1720 and postal consequences on foreign correspondence’.
In his short speech, FEPA Vice President Giancarlo Morolli, honorary AISP member and corresponding academician of RAHPEHP, emphasised the importance of these supranational collaborations, while AISP President Luca Lavagnino proposed the intensification of relations with Spanish friends soon.
An instrument of the symphony orchestra combined with the autograph of a fitting work penned by an Austrian composer are the distinctive components of the “Musikland Österreich” stamp series. Since 2020, Viennese graphic artist Ms Kirsten Lubach has designed an annual stamp for this series. She will be awarded the Yehudi Menuhin Trophy 2023 for the stamp depicting a trombone, issued on 16 February 2022, and won the election for the most popular music stamp of 2022 with 8.11% of the votes cast.
This year, 69 stamps from 55 postal administrations were selected as candidates. Collectors from 48 countries participated in the voting via the Internet or at the IBRA 2023 World Stamp Exhibition.
With 7.59% of the votes, the stamp designed by Alejandro Muntz featuring ballet dancer María Noel Riccetto took 2nd place. The stamp was issued in Uruguay on 28.11.2022 as part of the U.P.A.E.P. (Unión Postal Américas, España, Portugal) joint issue devoted to “Art”.
Third place, with 7.08% of the vote, went to the Greek painter and graphic artist Dr Myrsini Vardopoulou for a stamp from the Greek set “100 years of the first urban refugee settlements”, issued 14.9.2022.
