Stamps CHF 1.10 «Mourning», Sheet with 10 stamps

A large number of letters and cards sent privately relate to events such as a birthday, death, birth or wedding. Four new special stamp designs aim to cover as many of these special events as possible. Letters still play a very important role in certain events. Who would send a wedding invitation by e-mail or post a death announcement on Instagram? That’s why we’ve aimed to express the feelings and emotions associated with events such as mourning, birth, marriage, birthdays and exam results on the envelope as well as the stamp. Kriens-based designer Uwe Stettler chose traditional designs to hint at the content of the letter enclosed within the envelope.
