Cover - Austria

Received this really nice cover from Austria only yesterday. Beautiful stamps and a clean clear postmark. The cover was sent on 18.7.2014. The stamp on the left was issued on 18th July 2014 and features classic Austrian costumes. The cover has the first day cancellation, a similar design as that of the stamp, on it.
