Hungary recently issued a Souvenir Sheet that shows several landmarks in Europe. It's easy to spot Big Ben, the Leaning Tower and the Eiffel Tower, for example. In at least one description there is supposed to be the little mermaid monument (Copenhagen), but I can't make it out. Am I just missing it? The only thing that looks remotely like it is top left next to the windmills. If that's it, she appears to be looking over her left shoulder and the Copenhagen statue has her looking over her right shoulder.

It's hard to tell at this resolution, but this is the best resolution I could find.

Lars,

Thanks for posting this - its wonderful!

And you're right - at this resolution it is hard to see everything.

I think you may be right about the mermaid.



I'd love to see an enlarged, detailed image!

Lars I think that your mermaid is actually at the point where the windmill sail points down to the left.
If you go to the left vertical perf line and where it intersects the top horizontal line count to the right and it shows, styalised, between the 3rd and 5th. perf holes.

re: 2016 Hungary Souvenir Sheet

Yes, that is the position I was talking about.
If that's it, she's looking over the wrong shoulder as far as I can tell.
I placed an order for that item to find out for myself.
It's coming from overseas, so it may take a bit to get here, but I can finally provide a high res scan!

This is a fun image, though. I love the SkyLab "cloud"!

I would, too, but I received the sheet and it measures only 5.5" x 3.25" (13.5 cm x 8.2 cm). The image I provided is as good as anything I could scan.

I still think that's the mermaid statue even though she is looking over the wrong shoulder.

Great sheet! Any translation for the two words at the top?

The stamp is from Hungary, so you can try Google translate. I believe the subject is European Capitals.
