Belgium Post issued a mini-sheet on January 18, 2010 commemorating the life and work of Paul Otlet. This uniquely designed mini-sheet contains a single € 4.60 stamp, showing Otlet in front of a large globe. In the foreground are a stack of books. To the left on the mini-sheet is an inscription roughly translated “Mundaneum to the Internet” and what seems to be a card-catalog of a library reaching to the ceiling. Near the top of the card-catalog a series of wires or chains appear to be popping out of some of the drawers and being attached at various positions on the globe.
