Hello Fellow Stamp collectors :) I found a couple of good examples of stamps with a map on it. unfortunatly my scanner died on me so I made foto's... This stamp from the Republic of Indonesia depicts Asia and Africa and was engraved and printed in rememberance of the African-Asian Student Conference of 1956.  In honor of the Asiatic Olympics in 1951, South Asia is depicted on this stamp from the Republic of Indonesia.  I can't tell you much about this stamp other then it is from Australia en depicts the globe and australia.  |
