ATTENTION CINDERELLA FANATICS, ROSSICA HISTORY BUFFS, SOUVENIR COLLECTORS AND THOSE WHO LOVE MINIATURE ARTWORK!! Place your orders now for the Sergei Vasil'evich Prigara vignettes! The third in the series honoring Rossica's greats, the English and Russian versions will be unveiled on 26 June 2009 at ROSSICAPEX. Like the Arkhangelsky (2007) and Salisbury (2008) vignettes before it, this issue was drawn by Catherine Nickle and produced in 50 numbered sheets of 25 (13 English and 12 Russian versions per sheet) by yourstamps of Berlin, Germany.

The artist will sign 15 of the sheets, which will be sold at $50 apiece. Unnumbered sheets are $30 each, and individual vignettes - $1 each. If you would like one or both of the Prigara vignettes sent to you from the show on the first day of issue (no more than three envelopes or cards per customer, please!) and canceled with the Society's handstamp, the cost is $5 per sending - postage paid - anywhere in the world.
