The
Korean Stamp Catalogue had newly been issued. The size of the current
catalogue is 170 x 145 mm and comprises of 545 pages and it is
described in Korean and English.
It
is a comprehensive compilation of stamps including "Rose of Sharon"
and "Samson Rocks", the first postage stamps of the DPRK issued on
March l2 Juche35 (1946) after Korea’s liberation and postal collections
including stampcards, postcards, entires, aerogrammes, letter cards,
maxicards, stamp booklets, presentation packs, military letter cards
and envelopes and first-day cancellations. It also contains new

The
stamps and postal collections represent the revolutionary life and
immortal exploits performed by Kim Il Sung, founding father of
socialist Korea and eternal President of the DPRK, the wise Songun
revolutionary leadership of Kim Jong Il who is brilliantly inheriting
and developing the revolutionary cause of Juche and the dynamic
striving of the Korean people to build a great, prosperous and powerful
nation. They also show the time—honoured history and culture, nature,
geography, fauna, flora, sports and folk customs of the country and
various events of international significance.
It is different from the previous editions in composition, contents and format and much more convenient to the readers.
We hope the readers have a good time collecting Korean stamps. |
