| Abstract: | The Malta Post Office has chosen the Rubens Fourth Centenary Year to issue the first in a series of sets of postage stamps reproducing the magnificent Flemish Tapestries woven at the end of the 17th. Century. The priceless Tapestries were commissioned by Ramon Perellos on his election as Grand Master of the Order of St. John in 1697· They were executed by Judocus de Vos, a member of one of the most celebrated families of tapissiers who flourished in Flanders during the 16th and 17th centuries. The Tapestries are on permanent exhibition at the Museum of St. John's Co-Cathedral, Valletta. [excerpt] |
