pitronix - Way to go; keep 'em coming.

The area around the village of Vix in northern Burgundy, France is the site of an important prehistoric complex from the Celtic Late Hallstatt and Early La TÃ¨ne periods, comprising an important fortified settlement and several burial mounds. The most famous of the latter, the Vix Grave, also known as the grave of the Lady of Vix, dates to circa 500 BC. This grave had never been looted and contained remarkably rich grave offerings, including a great deal of jewellery and the bronze Vix krater, the largest known metal vessel from antiquity, measuring 1.63 m (5'4") in height. Here is an image of a stamp depicting a detail of the horses on the Vix krater, designed and engraved by Jacques Combet, and issued by France on March 28, 1966, Scott No. 1149, Y&T No. 1478.

"When one makes sculptures of horses, one remembers all of that great relationship that humans had with them, with the horse. Even today one raises horses only for dressage, the races, for the pleasure of horseback riding. It has become an animal of romance, an animal of pleasure which has lost its utility in the West..."

Black History Month Booklet - John Ware

uncadonego · **Posted:** Tue Mar 06, 2012 06:56:10 am

John Ware was an African-American (and later African-Canadian) cowboy, born into slavery on a South Carolina cotton plantation, circa 1845. At the end of the American Civil War, he headed west to Texas, and in 1882, Ware drove 3,000 cattle north for the North West Cattle Comany - and stayed. Prodigiously strong and known for his skills with the lariat, he pioneered steer wrestling, winning his first competition at the Calgary Summer Fair of 1893, and setting a precedent for what would become a hilight of the Calgary Stampede.

That is a beautiful stamp. Is it expensive?

nethryk · **Posted:** Thu Mar 29, 2012 22:29:29 pm

Machaggis52 - Thanks. No, the Sweden Stora Hammars carved horse is not an expensive stamp. I have found that one of the advantages of specializing in collecting intaglio engraved stamps is that so many of them are available at quite reasonable prices.

Here is an image of a stamp depicting an equestrian statue of King John IV (1603-1656), designed by Portuguese artist and painter Henrique Franco (1883-1961), engraved by Renato Araújo (1911-1950), and issued by Portugal in 1940 to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the restoration of the monarchy, Scott No. 1588, SG No. 913.

There is one in a pasture about 1 mile from my house. Interesting looking horse.

EDIT: My wife says it is a Fjord, descended from the Tarpan. They look quite similar, but the Przewalski has 66 chromosomes, and the Fjord has 64, so obviously not descendants. If I get a chance, I'll post a pic of him.
