The Hungarian government has issued postage stamps in honor of Merse’s standing among the nation’s most important painters. The former was published in 1966 and the latter in 1967.
Majális celebrates the seasonal change and the Hungarian custom of dining outside in May. The title does not use the loanword piknik or the expression jó szórakozás or pleasant amusement or diversion. Lovers is a picnic without food.
