Sunday Stamps - July 20, 2025
Blue is the Sunday Stamps theme this week.
Andorra 1943
Bulgaria 1915 - Tsar Ferdinand I
Besides being the reigning monarch of Bulgaria, he was an author, botanist, entomologist, and, most importantly, a stamp collector!
Chile 1901 - Cristobal Colon, or as we know him, Christopher Columbus. Until 1910, nearly all Chilean postage stamps featured Columbus.
Finland 1965 - The Parainen Bridge was built in 1963, and while an engineering feat at the time, it is currently being replaced.
South Korea 1966 - From the series Korean Science and Technology, it was printed on granite paper.
Next week, for the last week in July, the theme is Christmas (in July)!
A nice array of blue stamps. Thanks for the link to the granite paper explanation!
ReplyDeleteInteresting bit about granite paper! I like the design of the last stamp.
ReplyDeleteLovely array of blue stamps.
ReplyDeleteThis insistence on commemorating Columbus in Chile is surely problematic. The last one is a great design. Again, so many shades of blue!
