Aphorismus des Tages:

Es ist besser nichts zu tuen, als mit vieler Mühe nichts zu schaffen ...

... sagt der Weise. Deshalb lassen wir den Aphorismus des Tages ein wenig ruhen.

This souvenir sheet was issued
on 20 May 1968 to mark the
500th death anniversary of
Gutenberg. Both stamps on the
sheet (issued individually as
Scott #C69-C70) have the
Gutenberg Statue Monument in
Mainz as foreground, with the
Strasbourg Cathedral in the
background on the 45-franc
value, and a rendering of what
Gutenberg’s printing press
might have looked like on the
100-franc value (Dahomey).

This wonderful depiction of
Gutenberg using a pair of ink
balls to ink a form locked on the
bed of his press is based upon a
woodcut by Jost Amman (ca.
1539-1591), a Swiss designer,
draftsman, painter, and
printmaker. It was issued on 5
May 1954 to commemorate the
500th anniversary of the
publication of Gutenberg’s 42-
line Bible (Germany).

The centennial of the Printers’
and Papermakers’ Union in
Hungary is commemorated by two
stamps, one of which is a portrait
of Gutenberg (Hungary).

These two stamps were issued on
20 March 1997 to mark the
possible 600th birth anniversary
of Johann Gutenberg (1397?
-1468). The 20-lek value has
Gutenberg’s portrait, and the 60-
lek value displays a possible
configuration of his printing
press (Albania).
