Stamp sheetlet to mark exhibition
The Postmaster General, Mr Robert Footman, today (Wednesday) announced that the Hong Kong '97 Definitive Stamp Sheetlet Series No 2 will be issued on May
18.
The sheetlet is one of the products issued in relation to the Hong Kong '97 Stamp Exhibition to be held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from February 12 to 16, 1997.
It comprises three sheetlets which are designed in se-tenant form showing the changes in the Hong Kong skyline at various stages in history, starting from the 1850s.
Sheetlet No 1 had already been released on February 23 while Sheetlet No 3 will be released this October.
Sheetlet No 2 is a reproduction of an early photograph depicting the Victoria Harbour and the Peak in about 1920. The postmarks reproduced on the sheetlet are some of those used by the Hong Kong Post Office around that period.
The sheetlet is designed by Mr Arde Lam and printed by Joh Enschede of the Netherlands,
The $10 definitive stamp depicted on the sheetlet is green in colour which is different from the brown colour of the current $10 definitive stamp.
