Checklist Editor David Wolfersberger has finalized the second 2024 update of the MoS Checklist (March 2024 to May 2024). These new updates, along with previous updates, are always available as Microsoft Excel files to download from the “Checklist Updates” section on the MoS Checklist page. On June, 20, 2024 An Post (Ireland Post) released a new issue marking the First Ordnance Survey of Ireland in 1824. The single design, ‘N’ denomination (“national stamps” – currently valued at €1.35) issue is based on an 1836 map and features a small village area from Athboy Parish, in County Meath (northwest of Dublin). The horizontal format depicts crisp line work and detail common on maps from that time. Labeled roads, buildings, churches, trees and other features are visible on the colorful stamp.
The backstory of the 200th anniversary of the first Ordnance Survey of Ireland was tied to the announcement of the OS 200 A Digital Archive of Ireland’s Ordnance Survey, a project supported by the University of Limerick, Royal Irish Academy, Public Record Office of Northern Ireland, National Library Ireland and the Digital Repository of Ireland. Using the DRI OS 200 collection, the 1836 map depicted on the stamp issue can be found here. News thanks to the always observant MapRoomBlog and monthly ICA/ICACI eCarto News. — web admin.
CPS President Mark Honig informs us of two new stamps from France Post (La Poste) for Saint Pierre and Miquelon (SP&M) that feature maps, were issued earlier this month. The first issue on June 15, 2024 marks the 2024 Rotary International Conference for District 7815 (covering “Atlantic Canada” – New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, and French Saint Pierre and Miquelon). The vertical layout of this issue features two designs of the Rotary Wheel (gear logo) and a generalized outline and shading of the Canadian provinces, along with SP&M, that comprise Rotary District 7815. The 1.96€ denominated issue is valid for use only from Saint-Pierre and Miquelon to the French overseas departments and mainland France (and Corsica).
The second issue on June 19, 2024 is a definitive issue, similar to the earlier issues (as listed in the MoS Checklist – three stamps in 2022, one stamp from 2017, and six stamps from 2016). The non-denominated stamp features a 20 gram “20g” mark with a listed face value of 1.29€. The issue is valid for use only from Saint-Pierre and Miquelon to the French overseas departments and mainland France (and Corsica). On this issue the ocean area surrounding SPM is green and masks the islands. The island areas appear to be from a black and white aerial photo or related remotely sensed image. Another possibility is a grayscale hill-shaded digital elevation model (DEM), similar to definitive issues from Mayotte. (if anyone knows more about the design aspect of the SPM definitive series, please let us know. – web admin) |
