05/12/1997 Thailand

70th anniversary of birth of Bhumibol ADULYADEJ (1927-2016) King of Thailand.

Phtetm -- those are nice examples. I had not run across the Armenian one before and when I checked on it, I see it is omitted from the American Topical Assoc. checklist on cameras and photography (which list has some problems to which someday I should contribute corrections). It seems not commonly available. I managed to find one and am in the process of ordering it.

May I ask what do you collect?
My main interest in US in general, but photography is a topical worldwide interest. However, I have limited myself to still photography, rather than bringing in film or movies. Although I have been known to collect movie cameras too if there is no additional shipping to pay.

From my collection

1998-2000 USA

It present reproduction of a "Migrant Mother" taken by Dorotea LANGE (1895-1965) American photojournalist and documentary photographer.

phtetm - you might want to check on the description of the pair of Albanian stamps.

Scott 2599-2600/Yvert 2461-2 are shown. The issue date is correct for those, but they say holocaust, and would appear to be depicting conditions in a German camp in the 1940s, rather than a New Jersey prison in 1975.

The U.S. Dorothea Lange "Migrant Mother" stamp (Sc.3185m) reminds me to post this group from Palau.
Issued January 2 2014 celebrating the modern art of photography, there are two honoring Lange by showing photos taken during the Great Depression (Sc. 1192a and 1192b), as well as one by Lewis Hine (Sc.1192c).

The three on a mini-sheet with prominent selvage showing Lange's 1936 photo. The photo is most often just called "migrant mother," but it was of Florence Owens Thompson (1903 - 1983) and two of her children daughters Katherine McIntosh (on the left) and Norma Rydlewski (in Thompson's arms). The children were still alive when Sc. 3185m was issued which makes the stamp something of an exception in U.S. postal history.

There is substantial back-story to the photo, as the New York Times noted in this 2018 article.
