Stamp database

I have perfected the "scanning of stamps" process.  It takes a bit of time but the results are detailed, so much so that you can pick up hidden info on the stamp.  A bit like searching a Jeff Hook cartoon. Like what year the stamp was released.  Check out the below examples for the small print.  Allocating the tags adds to the time but you get multiple ways to search and display the collection.  The appropriate tags are added by observing or describing the stamp without referring to outside sources.  However I am still pondering how to give stamps a location.  Each stamp is designed by someone so maybe their birthplace?  This is a layer that requires info other than the stamp itself.
