Hi Nethryk, That is a beautiful engraving and the Peace Dove clearly has a twig of olive. The Thai Dove has a rainbow with it, another symbol of hope and peace.  |

Hi Rod, The Dove designed by Barraud for the 1932 Geneva Conference on Disarmament is one of my favorites - somehow the Dove seems proud of itself although its tail feathers look rather battered. The later Dove by Patocchi was issued on the 9th of May, 1945. "Peace on earth to men of good will". It is part of a larger PAX set.  |

One of the oldest stamps depicting a Peace Dove is the one issued by Japan in 1919. Unusual that it is perched on the olive twig, not carrying it. Interesting political developments in Japan at that time.  |

Hi Rod, Often a very simple design, such as your Canadian Dove or this one from Armenia (2006) carries the clearest and most direct message. (I shall be looking for the Belgian one as well.)  |
