UNESCO Campaign for Venice - Pakistan

 

Stamp (SG 323) issued by Pakistan for the UNESCO Campaign to save Venice.  

Below a FDC issued on 07 February 1972 in Lahore .

For Venice - Ajman

Ceci n'est pas un timbre.

This Mini Souvenir Sheet from Ajman is not listed in Stanley Gibbons (6th Edition, Part 19).  Only a handful of issues are listed for 1972 and this is why -  

SG says: "Many other issues were released between 1 September 1971 and 1 August 1972, but their authenticity has been denied by the Ajman Postmaster-General.  
(...) on 2 December 1971 Ajman joined with the other states to form the United Arab Emirates (...).  The Federal Ministry of Communications assumed responsibility for the postal services on 1 August 1972 and all stamp contracts were terminated; stamps inscribed "Ajman" issued after this date were released without authority and had no validity".

Italy 1966 - Visit Italy

Tourist propaganda stamp issued in Italy in 1966 with the slogan "Visitate l'Italia" (Visit Italy).  

Not the most attractive stamp I must say!  It depicts monuments from various Italian cities including the Colosseum, at the top right-hand side, just behind St Peter's. 

UNESCO Campaign for Venice - Khmer Republic (Cambodia)

And, here it is!  

In a previous post on the Cambodia issue for the UNESCO Campaign to Save Venice, I mentioned that I was still missing the Souvenir Sheet.  I received it this morning; it is very very nice and well worth the wait  :-)

UNESCO Campaign for Venice - Bulgaria

Two very nice stamps issued by Bulgaria in 1972 for the UNESCO Campaign to Save Venice.

 The green stamp shows St Mark's Basilica while the brown one shows the Ca' d'Oro, both stylised and with rising waters. 

Below, a picture of the Ca' d'Oro.

Dating from 1430, this Palazzo has always been known as the Ca' d'Oro (the "House of Gold") due to the gilt decorations which once adorned its exterior walls.

UNESCO Campaign for Venice - Morocco

Three nice small stamps from Morocco, issued in 1972 for Venice.

They depict the Bridge of Sighs, St Mark's Basilica and the Lion of St Mark, all stylised and surrounded by the rising waters.
