Gibraltar 2009-11-02 (tentative)

contains what appears to be a section of a world map showing the pacific area of Darwin’s voyage around the Galapaoges islands. The mini-sheet is composed of a single £2.42 stamp featuring a photograph of Darwin in later life. The mini-sheet contains a collage like assemblage of photos, drawings, letters and the world map in the background. From the promotional image, it seems no other maps appear on the 4 single stamps. This information is tentative, pending issue. For more information, please contact gibraltar-stamps.com
