Australia Post issued 4 interesting stamps on 24 June 2014 on the subject of maps of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. The stamps were designed by Boschen Design and lithographed by RA Print. As described in Blog 421 this issue is part of a programme of weekly stamp issues which Australia Post will release over the coming months.
Four stamps were released by Singapore Post on 28 May 2014 on the subject of past street scenes. They were designed by Lim An-ling and lithographed by Enschede using ink which changes colour in sunlight! I have not yet received my copies of these stamps but I look forward to seeing what happens to the stamps as a result of this bizarre printing gimmick - hopefully they won't spontaneously combust!:-
Whereas Australia Post intends to issue 4 new sets of stamps in the short timeframe of 4 weeks, Mauritius Post is quite content to release 3 sets in the whole of 2014.
