France: Saint-Quentin

On 5th October I got two postcards: one from France and one from Austria. 

The card from France shows the Town Hall of Saint-Quentin. Saint-Quentin is a town in Northern France. The Town Hall was built in the Gothic style and finished in 1509. The medieval statues shown on the card look very interesting. 

The stamp celebrates the Birth Bicentenary of Nadar, a famous photograph. He photographed many famous persons and is also known as the first person who took photographs from the air. In total four stamps were issued on 3rd April 2020 in a sheet with eight additional tabs which together show a rotation of Nadar's head. The stamp was cancelled in Saint-Quentin. 


Thank You very much William!
