The Luxembourg Europa Stamps Consists of two stamps.(0.60 & 0.85 €) A group of musicians, all dressed in the peasant period costume, play “Hämmelsmarsch” on traditional instruments.
POST Philately has commissioned Luxembourg artist Pit Weyer to design both stamps in the “EUROPA 2014” series. Pit Weyer is renowned in Luxembourg and around the world for his hand-painted, colourful and expressive works.
One stamp is more colourful and explosive than the other so comes across as more powerful. It depicts a small group of musicians clothed in historical peasant costumes playing the traditional Luxembourgish song, the “Hämmelsmarsch“, on traditional instruments.
The other stamp shows another musical scene that is typical for Luxembourg: a folklore group in a small village.
