Date of Issue – 17 June 2010
Hi ! Here is a wonderful se-tenant pair of stamps issued by An Post (Ireland Post) to commemorate two great Humanitarians of all times, Mother Teresa and founder of Red Cross, Henry Dunant. It’s a wonderful combination of great world Personalities. Both the stamps are very nice with profile of each in an appealing background…This pair will become a high demanding philatelic item as I think it’s a rare combination of two great personalities….If anyone knows such more combinations please write …I wish to thank Mr Prashnt Pandya of Vadodara who sent me info about this se-tenant. I have some EUROPA stamps and a nice cover to share with all, send by my good friend David from Dijon - France…The Cover bears Mother Teresa Stamp issued by La Poste (France). Thanks David for these wonderful items ! I am so pleased….This is all for Today….Till Next Post ….Have a Nice Time !…
International Humanitarians is the theme for An Post’s new stamp series featuring Henry Dunant (1828 - 1910), founder of the International Red Cross and Blessed (Mother) Teresa of Calcutta (1910 – 1997).
All the stamps on EUROPA 2010 are fantastic especially the stamp from Andorra shown here…It’s sparkling silver colored which is appearing here black in the scan Thank u very much David for these awesome items!
