That is life

Philately

These paper rectangles of different sizes and colors that attract much attention from those who collect them, have a special charm to them, and none for those who collect them.

What do I mean?

That which collects something, feels for that special item attraction, and where appropriate, may invest up to much money to get any missing in your collection.

At the time I studied  in the School Don Bosco of Valencia, here in Venezuela, one of the priests were teaching us, was the father panchera, of fond memory.

He gave art education classes and maintained a bulletin setting forth articles and graphics relating to the History of Art and exhibited articles on philately and always was there any sample that he collected stamps.

So many of us students, we also  collecting postage stamps or stamps as they are also called.

I remember my relatives asked me to keep the envelopes of the letters reached them. At that time, there were various mail programs that the technique has brought us and that at least in our country, have gotten the mail, postmen and letters, almost gone. In my case, the stamp collecting hobby has dropped to such an extent that only very occasionally when I search my albums and leaf through with longing for times past.

In the graph at the beginning, the stamp shows considered the number one in the world, the famous penny black in Britain. It was released on May 1840.
