Leuven University Library, Leuven, Belgium

This postcard here shows the Leuven University Library in Belgium. It is part of the Catholic University of Leuven. Founded in 1425 by John IV, duke of Brabant, the University of Leuven is the largest in Belgium.

The stamps used on the card are really interesting. They depict the cute little Smurfs characters, who coincidentally originate from Belgium as well! The stamps are part of a set of 5 issued on 29th September 2008 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Smurfs. The miniature sheet is really beautiful:

Thank you Gerda for the wonderful swap!
