The spider stamp of this series has to be one of the most horrible art work I ever seen! That sheet shows animals sent on space programs. Spiders in space... the last frontier! For more information on animals sent in space, click HERE

Stamps are like wine, there are some good years and some very bad year. 2019 was an abysmal one with all those horrible picture stamps, almost seems like several countries all conspired to insult philately! See Djibouti, Guinea, Mozambique, Sierra Leone, Togo, if you do not mind your eyes bleeding a little bit!
