Headline
United Nations Postage Stamps - Peoples of the World
Caption Description
The Secretary-General of the United Nations has released the photograph of the last of the eight designs chosen by a special committee of experts for the first issue of United Nations postage stamps. The design entitled “Peoples of the World” has been selected for the 1¢ (maroon) and 10¢ (sepia) regular denominations. It is the work of O.C. Meronti, Chief Designer of Thomas de la Rue and Company, Ltd., London, which is manufacturing these two stamps among others in the first United Nations series. Mr. Meronti’s horizontal vignette shows a group of five people, representing the principal races of mankind, liberated from their chains of bondage and looking toward the United Nations Emblem rising over a peaceful and prosperous landscape. The text “United Nations” appears in the five official languages as the border of the stamp.
