Doves As Symbols Of Peace

Thanks Kris,
I had it, as peace, not Dove.
Well out of focus and cancelled, must have scanned back in the early 2000's
That makes 22 in the set so far.
I borrow your scan.

Yet another...
Sc#2423
UN Declaration on the Preparation of Societies for Life in Peace.

23 in the set so far.

I think I have exhausted Poland. 28 (perhaps29) in the set.

Mini sheet B105 (Peace = POKOJ)
Seems to have Doves, I can only see it in Scott and it is not clear........

Hi Rod, I was about to add the Child with Dove when you changed my mind. Did you find your posts of 25th and 28th Dec?
Back in 1955 Warsaw hosted an international youth festival for which they issued a stamp with the then only skyscraper in town and a Peace Dove. The skyline is quite different now.

Wow!
Never seen that stamp before, not in my collection of 2,500 Poland. (Yikes)

So still they come.
Makes 29 stamps and possibly 2 minisheets

Hi Rod, Looks like you still have room for this one: 35 years after the end of WWII. I especially like this Peace Dove, but I do not know the artist's name.

Here are a few more Polish peace doves you may or may not have:
1952 International women's day SG 734 & 735
1952 World peace congress SG 796 (on your list) & 797 60 gr (blue)
1953 6th International peace cycle race SG 806-807 (on your list) & 808 red
1955 8th International peace cycle race SG 921
1955 International youth festival Peace SG 928 & 931 Tower & dove (shown above), SG 927 & 929 Pansies and dove, SG 930 & 932 Possibly dove on top of 2nd O (Pokoj)
1959 10th anniversary World peace movement SG 1113

Thanks Kris,
unfortunately, my specialist Poland Catalogue does not offer the designer

"Katalog Popularny 1984"






Goodness me, 22Crows, you are a Whizz at finding stamps.
Looks like a bit of homework, before I repost the Polish Catalogue.

This is the Minisheet, 22crows and I, believe there is a Dove, perched above the "O" in POKOJ

Hi Rod, Hi Crows, Fun to see if one can get all stamps of one specific motif from one certain country together. The pansies with dove were at the back of my album because the dove is so small. It has a little modified Picasso style, don't you think? But the importance of a Peace Dove within the framework of the festival may have been considerable. Do the pansies have any hidden meaning or are they simply pretty spring flowers? (1955)

Hi Kris,
I think you can consider the 2 minisheets, as they have their cynosure with Peace. (Picassoesque, for sure)

Pansy......Pensee (French) to think to ponder (Eng Pensive)
In this case perhaps as "rememberance" ? (20th anniv of the end of conflict?)

Polish collectors may offer a deeper meaning.

The pansies look nicer here:

Indeed ,they do. Kris can have the designer also, Stefan Malecki.

Fiji issued a stamp with a Peace Dove above a village of traditional houses for the international year of peace in 1986. (I found the scan of an old postcard on the web.)

On September 13th, 2016 in occasion of the signing of the Peace Treaty with the FARC, the colombian ministry of communications authorized the emission of 25,000 of the so called " Stamp for Peace" souvenier sheets . According to the words of the author of the design of the stamp, Harold Trujillo, the winner of the contest, "the scene of the dove irrigating the olive tree symbolize the hope to achieve building a country without the flood of violence, seeded of good sense for coexistence and real implementation of human rights for a territory of peace".

A whole flock of Peace Doves released from behind bars symbolized the release of prisoners of war in the stamp Iran issued after the first Gulf war in 1991.



Hi Jungle, Welcome to the SC! Your 'Stamp for Peace' is just wonderful, the symbolism is so perfect, the dove caring for several seedlings of olive trees! K.

Note : Some stamps that sit alongside each other in Gibbons, are segregated in Scott, and become "B" numbers.

Here's something we can NEVER get too much of...........Peace.
