1318. 🇲🇹 Dogs In Malta.

  🇲🇹 MaltaPost will issue a sheetlet of 16 different stamps on 23 October 2018 depicting various breeds of Dogs. The designs are reproductions of artwork by the Maltese artist, Andrew Micallef, and the stamps have been lithographed by Printex Ltd and perforated 14. Of course I give this issue a Rating of ***** and have to feature the Labrador at the head of this piece!

  🇮🇪 The postal service of Ireland, An Post, issued 2 stamps on 18 October 2018 on the subject of 'Popular Democracy'.
