  • Isbn 978-1-4931-3049-8 Chapter 1
    ISBN 978-1-4931-3049-8 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION In the middle of the 19th century many countries around the world introduced postage stamps. Not long thereafter people started to collect stamps. Today philately is a large worldwide business and a popular hobby. It is common among philatelists to collect stamps by topical subjects. Topical collecting is the forming of a collection of philatelic material selected and arranged by subject, design or theme, rather than by country of issuance. For example, Spira published a paper on Photographica on postage stamps.1 The paper lists photography-related stamps issued until 1979. In another publication, Miller covers the history of optics as featured on stamps.2 Over the last two decades holograms have become a new topical subject in philately. It is now 25 years since a presentation stamp folder with a hologram was issued in P. R. China, The following year the first definitive postage stamp with a hologram was issued in Austria. Since then many countries have issued hologram stamps or souvenir sheets. Some countries have issued stamps or souvenir sheets with holograms on more than one occasion. Up until now ( 2012) about xxx countries have issued holographic stamps and the total amount of different postal items with holograms is well over xxx. During the millennium, 1999 and 2000 celebration, there was a peak in hologram stamps issued. In the beginning it was common that the holograms contained 3D images. After 2000 hologram stamps are most often covered by holographic diffractive foil with for example stars or other repeatable patterns.
