This month saw the release of the first postage stamp designed by the multi-award-winning illustrator and writer Peter Sís. The Česká pošta stamp marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Vojtěch Náprstek, a Czech patriot and politician who was also a pioneering Czech language journalist in America. Peter Sís says the fact he himself lives in America may explain why he got the commission.
