People
This sheet contains twelve stamps showing a variety of people – women and men, girls and boys, young and old – from many cultures and economic levels. It’s meant to be a collection of people of the world, represented fairly and somewhat equally. The caption on center of the page is the start of the U.N. Charter, the Preamble. Here’s more of that preamble, with some text removed by me to shorten it:
U.N. Charter Preamble
We the peoples of the United Nations determined to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war… and to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small… and to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom, and for these ends to practice tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbours, and to unite our strength to maintain international peace… and to employ international machinery for the promotion of the economic and social advancement of all peoples, have resolved to combine our efforts to accomplish these aims.
Note
This sheet of stamps or souvenir sheet was issued in New York, Geneva, and Vienna in their respective currencies and primary languages. I’m not a fan of these large souvenir sheets. But if they want to issue them, I wish they’d make them smaller, maybe A5 paper size – about six inches wide and eight inches high.
Contains 1 spots: own 1 – 1 unused, 0 used.
