I have been cataloging stamps from Czechoslovakia and came across these. I just love these stamps. The artist did a really fine job. They are really striking (iconic). They date from 1964.

re: Astronaut Issue

I agree. The early 1960s space issues from Czechoslovakia are among the first stamps that I remember, and was one of the main factors that spurred me on to collect stamps.

re: Astronaut Issue

They are good, aren't they? They are the work of designer J.Lukavsky and engraver J.Mracek, and since the style looked familiar I had a quick look at the catalogue, which confirms that the same designer did the 20th anniversary of Liberation set a year later, for which Mracek engraved one of the stamps. Socialist Republic = top designs, obviously! Winking
