THE OLD WORLD
Our European ancestors transmitted to us a multitude of iconographic material which attests to their technical and artistic virtuosity in matters of representations, in particular animal. The advent of Christianity and the Middle Ages changed the codes of these representations. Animals are present in many sculptures, frescoes, tapestries and other bestiaries of the time. Today, the animal remains an important theme of philately and numismatics in Europe.

Europe covers 10,392,855 km², or 7% of the world's land surface. It has about 750 million inhabitants, or 10% of the world population spread over fifty countries. The European Union is the second largest economic power in the world, its territory is 4.2 million km² for 28 countries with 443 million inhabitants.
