Description

This lot brings together a varied collection of stamps from the Republic of Indonesia, all visible in the photo, presented on a philatelic album page. The stamps display a wide diversity of themes, colors, and face values, illustrating historical, cultural, and technological elements specific to Indonesia. Observable motifs include official portraits, scenes of daily life, commemorative illustrations, and national symbols.

One can distinguish stamps with portraits of Indonesian leaders, often highlighted against a plain background or in colorful compositions. Several examples illustrate significant events or national campaigns, such as the "Program Wajib Belajar" (compulsory education program), or the commemoration of congresses and inaugurations, with explicit mentions such as "Inauguration Jakarta 1981."

Some stamps highlight the country's cultural richness through representations of traditional dances ("Tari Kecil 1966"), masks, or rural scenes. Others emphasize technological progress, such as a stamp illustrating an orange telephone, or industrial equipment. Several face values are visible, such as 300, 500, 40, 140, 200, 7.50, 1.25, 65, 35, 40c, 350, 125, 150, 275, or 600, thus offering an overview of different issue periods.

The color palette is particularly varied, from turquoise blue to green, including pink, orange, yellow, purple, and gray tones, which gives the set a dynamic and attractive visual aspect. Cancellations are present on almost all stamps, indicating their actual postal use.

The visible general condition indicates used stamps, some showing slight traces of use or cancellation marks, without apparent major alteration on the visible faces. The album is not included; only the stamps visible in the photo are concerned.

Did you know? Indonesian philatelic issues are renowned for the diversity of their themes, often linked to the country's contemporary history, the promotion of local culture, or the celebration of major national events. Indonesia began issuing its own stamps shortly after its independence in 1945, which explains the frequent presence of leaders' portraits and patriotic motifs.
