Special stamps on "Hong Kong Rural Heritage"

The acting Postmaster General, Miss Nancy Law, announced today (Sunday) that a set of special stamps on the theme of "Hong Kong Rural Heritage" will be issued on May 24. There will be four denominations: $1, $1.90, $2.40 and $5. The stamps were designed by Mr Ian Leung Yim-yam and printed by Joh Ensched? of the Netherlands.

This set of stamps features four of the old traditional buildings in the New Territories: Tsui Shing Lau ($1); Sam Tung Uk ($1.90); Lo Wai ($2.40) and Man Shek Tong ($5).

Miss Law said: "This set of special stamps has two main features which make them a prestigious collection. Firstly for the first time, Hong Kong postage stamps are printed by both Lithography and Intaglio. Lithography is commonly known as off-set lithography printing and is ideal for full colour printing. Intaglio is a traditional printing process seldom used nowadays on Hong Kong stamps.
