EDITORS COMMENTS
This Souvenir First Day Issue card commemorates the inauguration of the Palais de l'Europe, the principal building of the Council of Europe, located in Strasbourg, France. Designed by renowned French architect Henry Bernard, the Palais de l'Europe was inaugurated on January 22, 1977. The modernist architecture of the building reflects the progressive and forward-thinking nature of the Council of Europe, an intergovernmental organization founded in 1949 to promote unity and cooperation among European countries. The Palais de l'Europe serves as the headquarters for many of the Council's key institutions, including the European Court of Human Rights and the European Commission of Human Rights. This Souvenir First Day Issue card, released on the same day as the official stamp issue, allows collectors and enthusiasts to celebrate this significant architectural and cultural milestone in European history. The intricate design of the card showcases the Palais de l'Europe in all its glory, with the building's distinctive glass facade and sweeping curves taking center stage. This card is a testament to the enduring importance of the Council of Europe and its commitment to building a united Europe.
