Astro-philatelics, part 10


Nevis Apollo 12 stamps

(Where in the world is Nevis?) These stamps celebrate the 20th anniversary of Apollo 11… but are actually featuring Apollo 12? Very strange. I love the vertical stamps, unusual pictures on both.

    That’s some fine, funky philatelic photo framing, for sure, but the typographical approach is too far out for me. A wind-propelled ocean vessel of old sailing through outer space? That’s rich symbolism I don’t see often enough! Text printed in every direction save upside down? That’s something I rarely want to see!

    Agreed, on both points.
