| Royal portraits of King Ferdinando II of the Two Sicilies, King Francesco II of the Two Sicilies, Queen Maria Theresa of Austria, and Queen Maria Isabella of Spain |
A friend, aware of my interest in philately and my fondness for Catholic monarchies, recently gave me a small but meaningful collection. It included eleven postcards themed around the Two Sicilies, each featuring Cinderella stamps, along with a stack of envelopes bearing stamps from Italy and France.
He also included reproduction portraits of King Ferdinando II of the Two Sicilies, King Francesco II of the Two Sicilies, Queen Maria Isabella of Spain, and Queen Maria Theresa of Austria.
It was a simple but thoughtful gesture—perfectly suited to my interests and much appreciated.
