On 2nd October I got four postcards: two from Austria and two from Germany.
One of the cards from Austria shows Ludwig van Beethoven. Born in Bonn in 1770, Beethoven spent a big part of his life in Vienna.
2020 was supposed to be Beethoven Year, but as you all know a different theme became more important. Nonetheless many countries still issued stamps about Beethoven's 250th birthday, however it took me until October to receive a second one of these after the German one: the Austrian one, which was used together with the First Day Special Postmark on this card. Although the stamp reproduces the same picture as so many other stamps this year, it is still more special, as parts of the text are written in silver.
Thank You very much Anita!
