Travel the World of Postage Stamps - Asian Elephant - Asian Elephant (Elephas maximus) - Laos 1958 - Michel Laos 75 - my hobby.

Greetings friends!

If you are a little behind the program of our travels, then I want to remind you that now, we are in the Kingdom of Laos, back in 1958.

This is helped by a series of Asian Elephant stamps issued in Laos in 1958.

This episode shows us the life of elephants next to humans.

Elephants, in southeast asia, this irreplaceable helpers in everyday life.

They are used as transportation as cranes and as machines for uprooting trees.

But, these are weekdays, and on holidays, elephants lead the procession.

They are dressed in festive harness, gilded hats are put on them, kings, brides and grooms, nobles, merchants and commoners sit on elephants.

On a postage stamp with a face value of 0.20 ₭ - Lao kip, we see an elephant. who was wearing a golden headdress, apparently, he was prepared for the festive procession.

An interesting series of postage stamps and I really like the "Recess" method for printing postage stamps.

This gives postage stamps something special, unique, something that prompts us to pick up this postage stamp.

Let's take a look at this postage stamp.

For my publications, I do not use stock photographs, it is fundamentally important for me to use photographs that I have made with my own hands for publication and I can name them - authorial work.
