oh!my God...sacred place
Like their motto, "I stamp so I am".
Great to see so many stamps gathered!
Some years ago I ordered rubber stamps at this shop via internet - original stamp themes and good service - but I had never seen the shop itself. Neither knew about the owner and his interesting history. Alas for the non-Dutch speaking it is not subtitled into English, but he tells for instance that he started making stamps for protest / activism (you can see few samples). Which reminds me of the history of mail art, of which I've read that mail art has been used to bypass censorship and/or security services.
Thank you for posting, Ruud!
I should go to Deventer one day, it's a nice city, too (though my wallet won't be so happy, as he/she knows well that I am a rubber stamp addict, and entering this stamp galery will be like putting butter in front of a cat...).
