Bill,

Your Eagle and Wappen card is a fantastic piece of art work. I like the way the artist seems to have transformed the feathers to resemble a chain mail of armor or shall we say a "coat of arms". The 1913 Jubiliams Kunstausstelung held in Cassel was part of many celebrations for that year to commemorate the city of Kassels 1000 years anniversary, which was founded in 913. This very same artwork that you show was used on their commemorative stamp of 1913 for this occasion.

This year 2013 they will celebrate 1,100 years of this historic cities existence and some nice things are being planned. Thanks for showing it Bill!
