A Sheet of Six Stamps Honoring Aphrodite

Cantharidia's postal issues very frequently depict imagery
and issues relating to the sea. Aphrodite is among the foremost
aquatic divinities of the ancient Greeks. She is shown here in
these designs emerging from a great clam shell.

All the graphic embellishments to this sheet of stamps were
created by the artist.
