Evans – Grey Douglas #1
COUNTRY:
Evans
DESIGN:
Donald Evans was my hero and the best of the stamp painters. See the tab on this website “Stamp Art”. Anyway I had a chance to go to Amsterdam which is where he lived and died in a tragic fire at age 32. And I had the extreme good fortune to meet a couple there —Yteke and Bert who knew him personally. In fact Donald named a whole country after Yteke. She was gracious enough to sign this “pigeon” for me : ))) Note the addressee is one used by Donald ( Professor Gluback )which is a wonderful reference to stamps. The Grey Douglas was Donald’s favorite tartan.
MAILED:
by me in Amsterdam in 2017
