Lot of cancelled United Nations UN themed multicolored stamps philately

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

This lot includes several cancelled postage stamps issued by the United Nations (UN), presented on a philatelic album page. The collection is notable for a wide variety of designs and colors, with each stamp featuring thematic illustrations related to peace, international cooperation, or significant UN events.

The visible stamps display diverse graphics: some feature the famous United Nations emblem, while others illustrate themes such as education, science, communication, security, or international diplomacy. Notably, there are stylized motifs of doves, satellites, flags, institutional buildings, or symbols of peace. Dominant colors include blue, orange, purple, green, and pastel shades, giving the collection an attractive visual appeal.

Several stamps bear inscriptions such as "United Nations," "Naciones Unidas," "Nations Unies," or "Security Council." Some display specific mentions like "UIT 1965 du semaphore au satellite" (ITU 1965 from semaphore to satellite), "25th ANN," or "L’éducation au service du progrès" (Education for Progress). The visible face values vary, reflecting different UN issues and periods.

The cancellations, clearly visible on most stamps, indicate their postal use. The presentation on a transparent support allows for observation of the stamps' general condition, which appears to be well-preserved overall, with no major visible defects on the presented faces. The perforations of the stamps are mostly regular and clean on the visible edges.

This lot is intended for anyone wishing to enrich a philatelic theme focused on the UN, peace, or major international institutions. The modern designs and varied colors make it a relevant choice for completing an album or starting a series dedicated to institutional philately.

Condition: Used item sold as is. The stamps are cancelled and presented on an album page. The visible general condition is good, with normal signs of use for circulated stamps. Only the visible faces are described.
