MERMAID MAIL FROM AMPHORA
This letter is from the Library of Hippocampus, an ancient repository of the Knowledge of the Sea Horses. The Library houses unique books on the metaphysical lore of the Sea Horses.
The legend of VOLTUMNA is found in manuscript form in a special glass case beneath the sea, where it can easily be read by Aquatic folk of today.
Amphitritonia is a Kingdom in the northwest of Amphora. Hippocampus is the capital city of Amphitritonia, a member state of the Amphoran Postal Union, which includes Merreminde, the Isle of Buto, Delphys, and Nereidia, as well as remote outlying islands such as the Isle of Timbae and the Jessamine Isle.

MERMAIDS ON STAMPS
The sculpture of this stamp is by Eric Whollem. Nereid means mermaid in Greek. According to the Greeks, the Nereids are saviors of sailors at sea.
The Map of Amphora is seen on the letter from the Library of Hippocampus. Amphora is the old name in astrology for the sign of Aquarius. Thus Amphora is the Continent of the Aquarian Age.
