2020 Year book of Swiss stamps
Picture 1 of 1 

The year book takes us on a journey through
the artistic collection of this year’s Swiss stamps. Who doesn’t know Globi? His educational
editions – two of which have been
acknowledged with special stamps –
highlight just how topical the character
still is. Closely linked to comics is the
tradition of street art. Four artists were
invited to produce their interpretation
of the multifaceted term “Smart City”.
Meanwhile, Berne’s Zytglogge clock
tower, the horological design of which is
greatly admired, shows just how fluid
the boundary between art and craftsmanship
really is.
Creating chocolate delights is also a form
of craftsmanship. Two special stamps
illustrate the journey of the cocoa bean
on its way to becoming a piece of confectionery
– or from bitter to sweet. Tribute is
paid to the art of flower arranging with
a stylish special stamp to mark the
100th anniversary of the Swiss Florists’
Association. And, in the International
Year of Plant Health, the United Nations
reminds us that plants can also fall sick,
with a focus on the Japanese beetle.
This short list contains just a few of the
many impressive stamps from the 2020
year book. The 128-page publication
presents 51 original stamps and an exclusive
black print. It also includes fascinating
background information on the
stamp motifs. This book is a perfect
record of our times – for you, a loved one
or perhaps as a birthday present.
