TNCP 40 Dispatched to Members

The 40th issue of The New CartoPhilatelist was dispatched to members in early January 2013. The issue opens the year with twenty full pages of fascinating articles, images and information about the Society.

TNCP 40 begins with an in-depth article by Society member Roger Kirby, about the connection of lighthouses and maps on stamps and examines, how over this years, this combination has been changing.  The next article is the final installment of member James Hamilton’s comprehensive series about Captain James Cook and CartoPhilately, and presents a myriad of cartophilatelic examples relating to Captain Cook’s Third Voyage.  Society member Pierre Moise provides some background and details about a 2012 issue by local Greenland artists depicting the islands of Denmark covered by thick glaciers, much like on the island of Greenland.  In the next article, European Representative Volker Woesner continues his series on survey related themes on map stamps, this time examining how mapping datums are shown.  Society President David Wolfersberger presents news about the society along with a detailed recap of the 5th Meeting of the CartoPhilatelic Society that took place in NYC in October 2012. There is a lot of information covered, and details about the forth-coming election of officers, so please be sure to check this carefully. Vice president Mark Honig tells us about series of interesting map images found in the gutters of a number of Caribbean issues marking the 21st birthday of Princess Diana.  At the auctions, by past president, Miklos Pinther, looks at some interesting results of recent auctions, including the  sale of Professor Litchfield’s collection, who passed away last year. Issue 40 is rounded out with a series of new issue images and updates to the Maps on Stamps checklist.
