Monaco issued a set of stamps celebrating the hundredth anniversary of the Salle Garnier, the opera house in that principality in 1979. The set of 6 stamps (Scott 1167-1172) include 5 that show scenes from operas produced in the theater. The sixth stamp shows a famous painting which is above the stage showing various instruments and players. Included is an organ/organist. Mark Jameson gave me these postcards with first day of issue markings on the stamps. the card vignette is a replication of the musical painting. I'll have to try to track down similar FDCs of the other stamps to get a complete set!
