World Stamps Pictures - Indonesia Komodo Dragon Stamps Early in the twentieth century Westerners started to hear native stories of a "land crocodile" said to inhabit some of the islands of Indonesia. In 1912 a party of pearl fishermen reported that a large prehistoric creature lived on an island they had visited in the Lesser Sundas. An expedition from the Buitenborg Zoological Museum in Java visited the island and published a report on the creature which proved to be a giant monitor lizard. This report remained largely unknown. In 1926 an expedition from the American Museum of Natural History captured two live specimens and brought back twelve dead specimens. The report of this expedition was widely disseminated and the existence of the "Komodo Dragon" (scientific name Varanus komodoensis) became known around the world.

Johannes Gutenberg - World Postage Stamps The United States commemorated Gutenberg’s achievement on 30 September 1952 with this 3¢ value. The picture on the left side of the stamp is based on a detail of a mural painted by Edward Lansing (1906-1981) in the New York Public Library. It shows Gutenberg presenting a proof of his Bible to the Archbishop, Duke Adolph Nassau, the Elector of Mainz. The appearance of this stamp was marked by many First Day Covers, several of which are here reproduced (United States, Scott #1014). The second value in a set of two commemorating “Printing Pioneers,” the 30-denar value (shown here on a First Day Cover)has a portrait of Gutenberg holding a book, flanked by a wooden press, with a page from the 42-line Bible serving as background. The cachet is an oft-used portrait of Gutenberg (Macedonia, Scott #193). Johannes Gutenberg - Postage Stamps

Postage Stamps of Johannes Gutenberg The Palatinate (in German: Pfalz) is a region in southwestern Germany that occupies more than a quarter of the German federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate (Rheinland-Pfalz). During the occupation of Germany after World War II, the Palatinate was occupied by French Forces. The French reorganized their occupation Zone by founding new states and, in 1947, the Palatinate was combined with Rheinhessen (a part of Hesse), a part of the Prussian Province of Nassau, and the southern part of the Prussian Rhine Province to form the German federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate. This depiction of the upper portion of the Gutenberg Statue Monument in Mainz is the 75-pfennig value, one of 15 stamps issued in 1947 and 1948 (Germany—Rhine Palatinate, Scott #6N13). This wonderful depiction of Gutenberg using a pair of ink balls to ink a form locked on the bed of his press is based upon a woodcut by Jost Amman (ca. 1539-1591), a Swiss designer, draftsman, painter, an...

Postage Stamps Pictures of Johannes Gutenberg Johann Gutenberg (c. 1400-68) did not invent printing. After all, the Chinese had already employed various printing methods for centuries, and “block books” were printed in Europe by the early 15th century. Gutenberg was fortunate, however, in that his native language was alphabetic, not ideographic. An alphabetic system requires a finite number of symbols to render; thus Gutenberg had only to design and cast about 300 different pieces of type to print his 42-line Bible, including upper and lower case letters, abbreviations, ligatures, punctuation marks, etc. Not so with the Chinese language, which requires about 3,000 different characters to print a typical Chinese newspaper or magazine, and at least 6,000 characters for most Chinese literature, technical writing, or classical literature. A system like that of Gutenberg was not practical in the 15th century for printing the Chinese language. These two stamps were issued on20 March 1997 to ...
