Sebastian Kneipp Dandelion


I have this 1982 first day cover in the Dandelion Archive celebrating Sebastian Kneipp (1821-1897). A German Catholic priest, he is known for his wellness cures that included water therapy, a mainly plant based diet and the use of botanical medicines. The ink stamp on the envelope mentions the 'International Kneipp Congress', Vienna 1982, and both the envelope and stamp have a lovely dandelion design on them, along with a portrait of Kneipp.
