Subject: NEW CARTIFACTS

Dear Colleagues,

Since the last update of the "Cartifact Gallery of Jan Smits" <http://www.kb.nl/persons/jan-smits/cartifact/list.html> I have added 27 new items, of which 16 recently this morning. They are recognizable as "NEW". The collection has grown now to 255 items. The indication "NEW" will be removed and added to the new batch, probably in the 4th quarter of this year, when I will add some 40-50 items of the J.B. Post-collection. He has been so kind to request his wife to do a lot of difficult photographing so you'all can enjoy these cartifactual expressions.

The pictures are better than some of the former items, as I have used this time my old-fashioned Canon AV-1 and scanned the resulting photographs with the appropiate dpi's.

Should anyone know what the Czech or Russian texts mean I am eager for your translations or transliterations.

With kind regards,

Jan Smits
