THE YEAR OF THE OX ON STAMP
Two special stamps have been produced by the Post Office to
mark the year of the Ox, the Lunar New Year 1973. They will be issued
on January 25.
The stamps, which are in the 10 cents and $1.30 denominations.
were designed by one of Britain's leading stamps designers, Mr. R. Granger
Barrett, from photographs of local cattle supplied by the Director of
Agriculture and Fisheries.
The 10 cent stamp is in a vertical format and the $1.30 in a
horizontal format. The size is approximately 1.7 inches by one inch
and they have been produced using the photogravure process.
It will be the seventh year in which the Post Office has issued
stamps marking the Lunar New Year.
Note to Editors:
Photographs of the new stamps will be distributed separately in the G.I.S press boxes this evening.
