Monaco Stamp - 2004

 

JC at Wollamshram has a great collection of 1001 Nights inspired stamps on his blog, including a very insightful post on this (pictured) one from Monaco - http://wollamshram.wordpress.com/2013/06/08/stamps-of-the-arabian-nights-part-11/

More Stamps from Ras Al Khaimah

A 1001 thanks to JC for the following scans and information on these stamps from Ras Al Khaimah, UAE, which I recently posted about.

JC runs the website - http://www.wollamshram.ca/1001/index.htm - which contains full length versions of many English language translations of The 1001 Nights.

He also has a blog where he posts regularly about the Nights, here:  http://wollamshram.wordpress.com/

He writes:  "The Sindbad stamp is part of a five stamp set.  The others feature scenes from The Fisherman and the Genie, The Ebony Horse, Ali Baba, and one that I can't place.  I believe that the stamps were published in 1967.  Hungary, Mali, Fujeira, Ajman, UK, and the Palestine Authority have all published Arabian Nights themed stamps. This excludes the tons Disney version stamps from Guyana and the Aladdin pantomime stamps from Nottingham.  These are the ones I know of."

Ras Al Khaimah Sinbad Stamp

Here's a picture of a stamp with an illustration from "Sinbad," (or at least the suggestion of one!), from Ras Al Khaimah in the United Arab Emirates, a onetime home of mine for almost five years (Abu Dhabi, UAE)!
