Contains other product and purchasing information. A first day of issue cover or first day cover (FDC) is a postage stamp on a cover, postal card or stamped envelope franked on the first day the issue is authorized for use within the country or territory of the stamp-issuing authority. Sometimes the issue is made from a temporary or permanent foreign or overseas office. Covers that are postmarked at sea or their next port of call will carry a Paquebot postmark. There will usually be a first day of issue postmark, frequently a pictorial cancellation, indicating the city and date where the item was first issued, and "first day of issue" is often used to refer to this postmark. Postal authorities may hold a first day ceremony to generate publicity for the new issue, with postal officials revealing the stamp, and with connected persons in attendance, such as descendants of the person being honored by the stamp. The ceremony may be held in a location that has a special connection with the stamp's subject, such as the birthplace of a social movement, or at a stamp show. The Battle of Hastings[a] was fought on 14 October 1066 between the Norman-French army of William, the Duke of Normandy, and an English army under the Anglo-Saxon King Harold Godwinson, beginning the Norman conquest of England. It took place approximately 7 mi northwest of Hastings, close to the present-day town of Battle, East Sussex, and was a decisive Norman victory. The background to the battle was the death of the childless King Edward the Confessor in January 1066, which set up a succession struggle between several claimants to his throne. Harold was crowned king shortly after Edward's death, but faced invasions by William, his own brother Tostig, and the Norwegian King Harald Hardrada (Harold III of Norway). Hardrada and Tostig defeated a hastily gathered army of Englishmen at the Battle of Fulford on 20 September 1066, and were in turn defeated by Harold at the Battle of Stamford Bridge five days later. The deaths of Tostig and Hardrada at Stamford Bridge left William as Harold's only serious opponent. While Harold and his forces were recovering, William landed his invasion forces in the south of England at Pevensey on 28 September 1066 and established a beachhead for his conquest of the kingdom. Harold was forced to march south swiftly, gathering forces as he went. The exact numbers present at the battle are unknown as even modern estimates vary considerably. The composition of the forces is clearer: the English army was composed almost entirely of infantry and had few archers, whereas only about half of the invading force was infantry, the rest split equally between cavalry and archers. Harold appears to have tried to surprise William, but scouts found his army and reported its arrival to William, who marched from Hastings to the battlefield to confront Harold. The battle lasted from about 9 am to dusk. Early efforts of the invaders to break the English battle lines had little effect. Therefore, the Normans adopted the tactic of pretending to flee in panic and then turning on their pursuers. Harold's death, probably near the end of the battle, led to the retreat and defeat of most of his army. After further marching and some skirmishes, William was crowned as king on Christmas Day 1066. There continued to be rebellions and resistance to William's rule, but Hastings effectively marked the culmination of William's conquest of England. Casualty figures are hard to come by, but some historians estimate that 2,000 invaders died along with about twice that number of Englishmen. William founded a monastery at the site of the battle, the high altar of the abbey church supposedly placed at the spot where Harold died. First day of issue stamped and postmarked envelope.

ill. OPappband. / Hardcover. 1. Aufl. Leonardo da Vincis große Liebe Benjamin Lacombe hat zusammen mit Paul Echegoyen die historisch verbürgte Geschichte der Liebe Leonardo da Vincis zu seinem Assistenten Salaï als beeindruckendes Buch gestaltet. Salaï kam 1490 als Zehnjähriger in die Mailänder Werkstatt des großen Leonardo, wo er als Gehilfe verpflichtet wurde. Jahre später wurde er zum Geliebten des Meisters, zu seinem Modell und letztendlich zu seinem Schüler. Doch Salaï, der übrigens selbst sehr gut malte, war nicht nur Leonardos Liebhaber und Assistent, er war auch seine Muse. Und darüber kann man vieles besser verstehen. Kunsthistoriker meinen, Salaï in Leonardos Bildnis von Johannes dem Täufer wiedererkennen zu können. Manche behaupten sogar, die Mona Lisa sei in Wahrheit ein Porträt des schönen Jünglings und Mon Salaï kann als Anagramm von Mona Lisa gelesen werden (Sehr gut erhalten - vermutlich ungelesen / in very good condition) Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 1100.
