 New Zealand 2014-02-05 ($1.40) On February 5, 2014 New Zealand Post issued a new set of five stamps depicting native seaweeds of New Zealand. From the web site, New Zealand’s unique marine environment is home to nearly 900 species of native seaweed, a third of which occur nowhere else in the world. Seaweeds are an essential part of the marine ecosystem, providing food, habitats and shelter to a wide variety of marine life. This stamp issue reflects New Zealand’s remarkable marine biodiversity, and the five unique seaweeds portrayed are Hormosira banksii (70cents), Landsburgia quercifolia ($1.40) [shown at right], Caulerpa brownii ($1.90), Marginariella boryana ($2.40) and Pterocladia lucida ($2.90). The mini-sheet contains the same set of stamps. What appears to be a monochrome relief map of New Zealand, surrounded by bathymetric contours is shown on each stamp. Bathymetric contours are partially visible on the left edge of the mini-sheet. [thanks for the information Ingwi! -admin]
[CartoPhilatelists will recognize previous issues of these themes namely USA sc2024 for Ponce de Leon, and then Spain sc2394 and USA scC116 for Friar Serra. If there are others, please tell us. In addition, the Spanish Post web site mentioned that the January 20, 2014 issue also was for Pedro Cieza de León, explorer and chronicler of the Indies.
The dispatch of the 44th issue of The New CartoPhilatelist marks a turning point for the Society. This issue was printed and dispatched directly to all of our hardcopy members, both domestic and international, using HP’s MagCloud Service. The first issue of the new year starts out with a detailed article by Ap Koopman about The Chamizal Dispute regarding the border between the USA and Mexico. The article traces the dispute over time, culminating with the treaty signed in 1963 and depicted in a stamp issue. Continue reading TNCP 44 Dispatched to Members
Just a quick, but important reminder for Journal submission dates. Our Editor, Martin Oakes, has chosen the following date as the deadline for article submissions to the Journal:
If you are interested in submitting an article please contact our Editor, Martin Oakes as soon as possible.
Remember there are many options for Journal content and Martin will be happy to discuss them with you. Recent issues of the Journal have been 20 pages. This is due to the wonderful amount of content that members have been submitting. The added pages will continue, as long as there is sufficient material available. Remember if you have feedback, please be sure to share with Martin or use the general contact form. We are still waiting to hear from any members who have been able to visit the new The William H. Gross Stamp Gallery at the Smithsonian Postal Museum in Washington DC. Please consider to write an article about your visit. Issues 42 contained a fascinating in-depth article about the Gronchi Rosa Forgeries that was originally in Italian, and published by another philatelic journal. As the Society is international in scope, we have various members that can sometimes volunteer translation resources. For those of you that have non-english articles and would like to see them translated and published in The New CartoPhilatelist please contact our Editor Martin Oakes. Recap your winter collecting |
