• 1966.  Centenary of the National Museum.  The Entrance Hall of the Museum  at the opening in 1866.  The two fragments immediately above show an interesting detail of SG 495/496 (Scott 699/700).  Pick out the second lady from the left  next to a gentleman, in the middle of the stairs.  If you examine the bottom of her gown, you will find the name LODZIA (short for Leokadija), which was the name of his sister, written in a V, shaped across the gown.  The name was engraved in such a way that it looked like the natural folds.  (Thanks to Mr. Chong Meng, Singapore, who has submitted this detail). 
• 1966.  Carl Jonas Love Almqvist (1793-1866).  Swedish author.  The portrait is a painting 1835 by C.P. Mazer.
