In 1986, James Lutschg, MD, wrote to the U.S. Postal Service to propose that an anti-smoking stamp be issued in 1989 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the release of the Surgeon General’s Report on Smoking and Health. He was informed that the Postal Service only issued stamps to commemorate 50th anniversaries. Backed by 22 medical societies, a resolution was approved by the American Medical Association in 2010 that called upon physicians to urge the U.S. Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee to issue a stamp commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Surgeon General’s Report in 2014.

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology on Postage Stamps
    Obstetrics and Gynecology on Postage Stamps: A Philatelic Study TURKAN GURSU1 and Alper Eraslan2 1SBU Zeynep Kamil Maternity and Pediatric Research and Training Hospital, Istanbul, TURKEY 2Dunya IVF, Kyrenia, Cyprus May 5, 2020 Abstract Objective:We tried to provide an overview of philatelic materials related to Gynecology and Obstetrics. Design:Sample philatelic materials including stamps, first day covers and stamped postcards, all related to obstetrics and gynecology, from the senior author’s personal archive were grouped according to their titles and evaluated in detail. Setting:We examine how stamp designers use visual imagery to convey information to those who see, collect, and use stamps. Method:Sample philatelic materials, related to obstetrics and gynecology, were grouped according to their titles and evaluated in detail. Main outcome measures:Stamps dedicated to the Obstetrics and Gynecology are usually printed in order to (a)pay tribute to the pioneers of Obstetrics and Gynecology, (b)commemorate important Obstetrics and Gynecology Facilities&Hospitals, (c)announce solid improvements and innovations in the field or (d)memorialize important meetings. Results:The initial use of postage stamps was solely to pay the fare of a postal service. Later on it was discovered that by using stamps it was possible to distribute ideas and news among people and also to inform them about developments, inventions, achievements and historical facts. Collecting Gynecology related philatelic materials is a very specialized branch of medical philately. In general, the subjects of the stamps dedicated to Obstetrics and Gynecology are, pioneers of Obstetrics and Gynecology, important Obstetrics and Gynecology Facilities&Hospitals, solid improvements and innovations in the field and important meetings.

Smith BLACKS ON STAMP AFRICANA POSTAGE STAMPS WORLDWIDE Exhibition Rowe Arts Side Gallery February 13-17, 2012 CURATOR’S REMARKS About three years ago, Chancellor Philip Dubois introduced me to Dr. Esper Hayes via email. About a fortnight later, Dr. Hayes was in my office. In a meeting that lasted an hour or so, she drew me into her philatetic world. A wonderful friendship began. Since then, we have corresponded scores of times. She has also connected me with her vast network of stamp collectors, especially members of the organization she established for promoting Black-themed stamps all over the world – the Ebony Society of Philatetic Events and Reflec- tions (ESPER). This exhibition is the product of networks of collaborative efforts nurtured over many months. Blacks on Stamp is about preservation of memory and historical reflection. The objectives of the exhibition are to: (1) showcase the relevance of stamps as a form of material culture for the study of the history of the global Black experience; (2) explore the aesthetics and artistry of stamp as a genre of representative art, especially for understanding the Africana achievements globally; and (3) use the personalities and historical issues repre- sented on stamps to highlight some of the defining moments in national and world histories.
