Stamps
There's a lot of scanning
still to be done
to put our stamp collection online but here's a few random samples in the
meantime...
|
Postcard & Stamp issued 15th
March 1961, Argentina. A great image with the photo of the white llama in what
looks like a zoo setting and its depiction on the stamp with the
mountain background. |
From
the Land of the rising sun, this Japanese stamp depicts an Alpaca with
Macchu Picchu and the Nazca Lines Thunderbird in the background. The
stamp celebrates Japanese migration to Peru. |
Issued in Dominica in 1973 to
commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the World Health Organisation |
South West Africa produced this
delicate portrayal. |
This charming stamp delightfully
brings together Arabian art and costumes, and South
American fauna! Issued by the Gulf State of Sharjah.
|
Guanacos ( Llama's wild cousins): a stamp from Ajman
|
Another stamp from the Gulf, but
what on earth is it? Apparently, according to the
Postal Service of the State of Oman, it's a
"Lama"! Hmmm... |
This
lovely set was issued in Afghanistan in 1997. It depicts the Bactrian
and Dromedary Camels of Arabia and the four South American or New World
Camelids- Llama, Alpaca, Guanaco and Vicuna. |
From Peru one of a set of Vicuna
