1726. 🇸🇭 🇰🇮 Early Christmas Stamps From St Helena, Solar Energy From Kiribati

🇸🇭 The postal service of St Helena issued 4 early Christmas stamps on 1 September 2020. The designs are by a local artist, Anna Henry, who has a business on the island called The Art Box. This is a fine little set. I hope to see more of Miss Henry’s art featured on future St Helena issues - it would lend a style to the territory’s stamps. Rating:- ****.

🇰🇮 The first issue of 2020 from the postal service of Kiribati was released on 31 August and is on the subject of Solar power. The issue is made up of 4 stamps (25c, 50c, 70 c and $1.50) and 1 single stamp miniature sheet ($5). Illustrations of the 4 stamps are awaited but included here is an illustration of the miniature sheet. The issue was designed by Andrew Robinson using photographs taken by H and GA Bennett and was lithographed by Southern Colour Print:- ****.
