This was the case when a friend Ireland commences with an overprinted Great showed me an article in the May-June 2005 Britain issue on February 17, 1922. issue of Ireland of the Welcomes.

However, An overprint on a stamp is made for many these little national representatives pack far reasons, including the case in Ireland where the more of a punch than their weight would stamps were used as provisionals while country- suggest. specific stamps were being prepared. Many "Postage stamps are the end result of a lengthy countries after a war have used provisionals process of design, more often than not by while they awaited new stamps. Most nations’ committee.

For surviving all that, the stamp you receive is, if little else, worthy of attention. It carries meaning and says something about its country of origin." I like what Mr. Costello says about the postage stamp - any postage stamp. Each little item is indeed a work of art. It does carry meaning and is worthy of attention because it says something about its country of origin. When Roger asked me to do a piece about Irish stamps for The Nolan, I was quite happy to By November 1922, the overprint read: oblige because Irish stamps are ambassadors for "Saorstat Eireann" meaning ‘Irish Free State’. that great isle to which we all claim some Initially, there were 11 different values and connection. The initial comment that stamps are three different printers: Dollard, Thom, and silent ambassadors came from Irish Nobel Harrison, and the Thom had two types - a award winning author W.B.Yeats. In an address narrow and a wide lettering. Those overprinted to the Irish Senate, he said: "The official designs Ireland provisionals were the regular British of the Government, especially its designs with definitive issues of King George V. connection to postage stamps may be described, I think, as silent ambassadors of national taste." 3 Generally, stamps come in two types - Derrinboy armlets, a gold dress fastener, definitives and commemoratives.

  • Proposed Anglo-French Issue 1940
    SPECIAL STAMP HISTORY Proposed Anglo-French Issue 1940 On 3 September 1939 France and Great Britain declared war upon Nazi Germany. In the following months an unprecedented degree of co-operation arose between the two countries on military, political and economic matters, which caused many hopeful observers to envisage an even closer union, extending beyond the war and drawing in other countries. The earliest recorded example of this enthusiasm seeking philatelic expression is that of M. Fernand Griffon, of Étables in Brittany who on 30 November 1939 wrote to both King George VI and President Albert Lebrun of France, suggesting a stamp for simultaneous release in both countries, either in separate languages and denominations, or, size permitting, combining both. The design would include a figure representing Peace and the legend ‘Notre But’ (Our Aim). He referred to bi-lingual stamps displaying the denomination in both local currencies issued in the Anglo-French Condominium of the New Hebrides from 1925 to 1938. M. Griffon's letter to President Lebrun was forwarded to the French Postal Administration, the PTT, who replied with a polite acknowledgement. His letter to King George VI was passed to the Foreign Office, who made no subsequent reply and, in fact, seem to have promptly mislaid it. Later, when the proposal had been taken up officially and was moving toward 1 fruition amidst wide public interest, M. Griffon wrote to various bodies, including the French Press, the PTT, the BBC and Buckingham Palace, in a vain attempt to win recognition as its originator. The initiative in fact came from M.

  • The Governance of a Fragile Eurozone Paul De Grauwe* No
    The Governance of a Fragile Eurozone Paul De Grauwe* No. 346, May 2011 Abstract When entering a monetary union, member countries change the nature of their sovereign debt in a fundamental way, i.e. they cease to have control over the currency in which their debt is issued. As a result, financial markets can force these countries’ sovereigns into default. In this sense, member countries of a monetary union are downgraded to the status of emerging economies. This makes the monetary union fragile and vulnerable to changing market sentiments. It also makes it possible that self-fulfilling multiple equilibria arise. This paper analyzes the implications of this fragility for the governance of the eurozone. It concludes that the new governance structure – the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), which is intended to be successor starting in 2013 of the European Financial Stability Mechanism (EFSF), created in May 2010 – does not sufficiently recognize this fragility. Some of the features of the new financial assistance are likely to increase this fragility. In addition, it is also likely to present member countries from using the automatic stabilizers during a recession. This is surely a step backward in the long history of social progress in Europe. The author concludes by suggesting a different approach for dealing with these problems. * Paul De Grauwe is Professor of Economics at the University of Leuven and Senior Associate Research Fellow at CEPS. The author is grateful to Daniel Gros, Martin Wolf and Charles Wyplosz for comments and suggestions. CEPS Working Documents are intended to give an indication of work being conducted within CEPS’ research programmes and to stimulate reactions from other experts in the field.
