It looks like Hungary has done something pretty impressive for stamp collectors worldwide.  In celebration of the 200th birth of esteemed pianist Frederic Francois Chopin.  Known in the music world as “one of the greatest composers of classical music,” Chopin was also called the “poet of the piano” and he lived during the 19th century.  He was indeed a pioneer of national romantic and folk music motifs.  Well, because of the man’s great achievements, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) declared this year – 2010 – to be his year.  In delight and recognition of this, the postal administration of Hungary (Magyar Posta) has released a postage stamp.   If you take a look at the stamp you will see Chopin with his childhood home, a piano and personal signature.  The first day cover has a silhouette of Chopin at the piano as well as hands playing on the piano.  It really is quite a treasure for serious stamp collectors.
