China Post issued a set of two stamps on Nov 28, marking the 200th anniversary of the birth of German socialist philosopher Friedrich Engels (1820-95).
The stamps each bear a face price of 1.2 yuan (18 cents). One shows drawings of a young Engels against the background of his family house, and the other depicts an older Engels, with thick beard, in the middle of writing, as well as Chinese covers of The Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital in the back.
The drawings were made by Wu Weishan, director of the National Art Museum of China and a sculptor who created statues of Marx and Engels.
