I just recently became interested in Maps on Stamps, or Cartophilately, as it is known. I belong the the American Topical Association, and have found that this is a really huge topic. Anyway, I only have about a dozen different items so far.
Here is one of my recent acquisitions from the Pacific island paradise of Tuvalu. The 10c shows a map of the entire island chain, and the other stamps in the set each show one of the individual islands. Pretty clever

I've been a busy beaver, sorting away, so I've set aside a number of stamps I've come across which fit into various threads. I will be bumping them back up to the top of the Recent Threads lists with my random postings. Here's a small grouping of map stamps - old and tattered from Cuba, better shape from Angola, and a high face value stamp off a First Day Cover from the Faroes.  Ryan |

Continuing my excavation through a box of Channel Islands stamps, here are a pair of early decimal large-sized definitives showing maps. The Jersey stamp reminds me how much closer the islands are to France than they are to England. Boy, I sure did a poor job of aligning this pair in my stock card for scanning ....  Ryan |

In 1923 the New Zealand Government decided that it was time to restore universal penny postage following its suspension in 1915. The map stamp was issued to commemorate this. The map stamp was the first and only stamp impression to appear preprinted on postal stationery until the 1980s.  My Avatar is a personally owned error stamp of the 1923 NZ 1d. |

I had to look thrice, before seeing it. I have two of these and one other with different re-entry on this same stamp. There are many re-entries on this stamp, some quite major. |

In recent posts I've shown a zoomed out map of Jersey and a zoomed in map of the Faroes. Here they are again, instead of zoomed out and zoomed in they're zoomed in and zoomed out. ha ha  Ryan |

Tonight's maps come from Argentina. The first is a common definitive from the 1935-1951 series that allows for great specialization - there are over 20 booklets written by Antonio Rubiera available for download. The second publicizes the 1960 national census. Both maps show the Falkland Islands under Argentine dominion, and the census map oddly includes the Argentine Antarctic sector - you don't really think of a national census including enumeration of a nation's Antarctic claims, but there you have it. I've since come across another couple of Argentine stamps with maps on them, they'll show up here once they get their turn on the scanner.  Ryan |
