There are a total of 60 page spreads in National Palace Museum’s Bird Manual collection. This Directorate has once again chosen 20 of these for five sets of four stamps. For aesthetic reasons, because the shapes of the stamps differ from the shapes of the paintings, exquisite parts of the paintings have been chosen for the stamps and removed from their original backgrounds. Visually striking stamps are the result.
