We had the honour today on the Bohemia Rhapsody of hosting the ceremonial unveiling of two Czech Post stamps from a special edition depicting means of transport.
The stamps featured the "Vysehrad paddle steamer " and the unique express train set with combined drive "Slovenska Strela".
After the Vysehrad steamer was added to the list of cultural monuments of the Czech Republic in 2013, this is another tribute to this unique technical work of marine engineering. The artistic design of the stamp featuring the steamer is by Pavel Sivko.
During today's ceremony the new book "The art of steam shipping on the Vltava River 1865 - 2015" was also launched, a book that came into being primarily thanks to the interesting findings about steam shipping brought by the team behind last year's exhibition of the same name at the National Technical Museum.
You can already see what the stamps look like in our photo gallery from the ceremony.
