Inspired by the Latvian map discussion, how often has advertising been placed on the stamp reverse?
Here is a New Zealand 1891-95 Scott 68 2 1/2p ultramarine. What sort of product is being advertised? Hopefully something agreeable while one is licking the stamp.
Is it just the New Zealand 1893 stamps that had advertising on the back, or are there other examples known?
I guess one could think of the advertising on a back of a stamp back then to the19th century equivalent of email hosting sites today that are supported by ad banners. ;-)
It seems like poor advertising to hide an ad behind the stamp where no-one will see. But maybe its ingenious in this case - when the product you are advertising is so private - only you will know its there. Actually makes sense!
