I've blogged about one of these stamps before but not a whole sheet.
This is the Conquest of Space from Yemen 1971.
They are often on Ebay. Like these ones.
Its interesting that on four of the stamps the Photonic Space Station is shown. Its the long thin station with the dish-shaped head. The six stamps are like a narrative of its journey.
You will have heard of the Photonic Space Station maybe as its a fabulous Tri-ang SpaceX toy!
I really like these long rectangular stamps, its an area I havent really ventured into philately, which I would love to, as my dad was a big stamp fan. The space stamps that Woodsy has found are excellent, these included.
ReplyDeleteI never thought of postage stamps as a place to find classic space illustrations, but what a great concept these are!
