Just took a trip around the world in 15 pages. Don't think I saw any of these maps.
Jamaica serving as a background.



and a rather handsome (I think) map of Bermuda.

The world's first map error.

Australia, Tasmania is absent without leave.

Some maps of Newfoundland

1908



1928



1929-31 re-engraved



On the redrawn version the locations C. Norman and C. Bauld on the northern peninsula of the island are transposed. Bauld was on top originally, then moved below.

Another map of Newfoundland on the 1937 King George VI 'long coronation' issue, die II.

Jamesw: you have spread a lot of Newfoundland stamps around the forum today and I for one appreciate it. I can almost smell the island. Spurred on by your posts I looked at my Newf stamps and was struck by the fact that I have very few dated town cancels. Any cancels that I have are of the killer type. Is there a reason for this or perhaps just a statistical anomaly pertaining to my collection. In addition, I would think that old outport cancels would be something that collectors would seek.

Cynical. Glad you've liked the newfies. I've got a lot of killers too. Most of my town cancels are pretty illegible. I think it's just a matter of postal workers at the time not worrying much about clear cancels. But I do agree that clear cancels, especially outport cancels are prefered by some collectors.

China Rare Stamp / The Whole Country is Red #187; The Whole Country is Red

geilichina - Nice one! Scott No. 999A is rare because it was quickly withdrawn after it was noticed that Taiwan appears white instead of red. Oops! Warning: Repaired examples and counterfeits abound.

Here is an image of "Communication," and a map of China, printed by lithogravure, and issued by China (People's Republic) on November 1, 1950 to publicize the first All-China Postal Conference, held in Beijing, Scott No. 73.

geilichina,

thank you for your posting. I have a box labelled Asia and I have
to figure out the different stamps. Mainly China and Japan stamps.
My next project when I grt albums for Christmas.

I didn't go through all the pages of this thread, so if I missed someone previously posting this one, I apologize. Nevertheless, it does depict a map from the Philippine Islands (1937) during the US Administration:
