Swedish postal services issue stamp printed in Braille

Stockholm - The Swedish postal services Thursday issued two new stamps that highlight Louis Braille, the creator of an alphabet of raised dots used by millions of visually impaired people worldwide. Both stamps have the text 'see with other eyes' printed in Braille and ordinary print. ' Louis Braille, the creator of the Braille system, was born 200 years ago, long before the age of computers. That makes 2009 a suitable year to highlight Braille and all visually impaired,' Britt-Inger Hahne of the stamp department at Posten Sweden said in a statement. The stamps were for first class mail in Sweden.
