About This Piece
Soviet illustrated envelopes are a colorful record of what the USSR chose to celebrate. This lot covers several popular collecting areas at once: Cosmonautics Day and rocket launches for space-age collectors, depictions of Soviet aircraft in the style of the Tu-144 and Il-62, an envelope from the 1968 Tashkent Film Festival, an anniversary edition for 20 Years of the GDR, birds such as a wild goose and a pigeon, and a classic New Year design with the Kremlin star. It is a good starting point for a Soviet stamp collection or a fine addition to an existing one.
