520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc Guyana was the nineteenth country in the world to begin issuing its own postage stamp in 1850, ten years after Great Britain issued the world’s first adhesive postage stamp in May 1840.



It has long been recognized that stamps serve as a recording media and source of information that illustrates the social, commercial, political, cultural, historical, geographical, and artistic aspects of a society in their own unique style. Using short and abstract text, color graphics and symbols on a limited surface area to communicate its contents is the key attribute that differentiates stamp from other non-book material. For this unique attribute, the stamp can be deemed both as a communication tool and a work of art.



In this carefully developed 30-minute documentary, get a glimpse of those issues and notions that helped shape Guyanese way of thinking from colonial times right down to current day events.



Some rare first-day issues, the iconic image of the Amerindian shooting fish, the different types of fish, mountains, animals, sporting events, church history, religious symbols, pork knockers, butterflies, mushrooms, marine vessels, key buildings, railways, flowers, birds, trees, cats, Dr. and Mrs. Jagan, Forbes Burnham, Eddy Grant, and many others are included in over 500 stamps from my collection.



See the world’s rarest stamp – British Guiana 1856 One-Cent Black on Magenta Postage Stamp and other important milestones celebrated on stamps. The well-chosen music as the background adds to the pleasure of viewing this rare collection.
