Europa - Peace and Freedom (和平與自由)
Isle of Man (1995)
26th January, 2010. Douglas
To return this maxicard, I found another stamp set for the postage, it is Europa series issued on 1995 to commemorate 50th anniversary of World War II. The stamps illustrate Peel Castle of Douglas and the broken fence respectively, but using doves for the same element. Actually I don't want to talk politics here and I am not super fan of Europa series - although I collected most issues of 1995, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001. If just talk the stamps, they look beautiful and they can call bird stamps, even they are pictorial and decorated.
For me, I also collect pictorial or decorated bird stamps, mostly are dove. But they are not in priority order to collect as most of them meaningless or related to other themes. For this example, it more related to war or castle themes instead of bird theme.
