Abstract:

Collections of 50–100 postage stamps illustrating many organisms or biomedical topics are available widely and cheaply. They are valuable stimulus material for exercises as diverse as observing and describing, studying biological classification, substituting for collecting and preserving real specimens, describing health education campaigns, and introducing ethical topics such as scientific fraud.

Abstract:

Philatelic material includes postage stamps, postcards, envelopes, cardmaximums, etc. This also includes numerous catalogs and other sources that tell and reveal the essence of philately, both past and present times. Using such materials, and, first of all, postage stamps - "business cards of the state", researchers can build chronological historical series, systematize and generalize various subjects that reveal certain events, illuminate many aspects of the economic, social, political and social cultural life of the country. Philatelic material is an excellent additional information source for research in the development of the economy of our country, and of course, the central link in the food security system - agriculture. On postage miniatures of agrarian subjects of different years, we can observe posted tabular materials, schedules, targets, various priority tasks and new directions that set the industry in one or another period of its development, the results of difficult agricultural labor. Many stamps are equipped with slogans and slogans of a conceptual nature, motivating agricultural workers to take new labor heights, to implement labor rivalry, etc. It is easy to trace the processes associated with inflation by postage stamps, to judge the strategic tasks aimed at further sustainable development of the domestic agro-industrial complex and the introduction of new progressive technologies.

Abstract:

Abstract This research investigates postage stamps as a communication design medium that has a key role in the construction of national gendered commemoration. By examining the commemorative depiction of women on Israeli postage stamps, we analyze approaches to miniaturization and discuss graphic design's implications for the visual articulation of gender within national culture. We further discuss the impact of technological transformations and digitization processes on postage stamp design. We apply social semiotic methodologies, archival research, and interviews with the designers, presenting new findings pertaining to research for design. As such, the present research expands our understanding of small-scale communication design for smartphones, icons, and logos.

Abstract:

In view of the fact that national maps were circulated in the 19th and early 20th century to strengthen people’s national consciousness, this article inquires whether the six EC founding states have in turn been using maps of Europe or the territory encompassed by the EC members since the 1950s in order to promote a sense of supranational community among the citizenry. Postage stamps, mass-produced by the national postal administrations, serve as the source material for this investigation. The analysis, however, reveals that the four largest countries initially made little use of cartographic representations of Europe. Only in the course of the eastward enlargement of the EU did European maps begin to appear frequently on stamps. One explanation for this surprising finding is the fact that the European unification process aimed at territorial expansion right from the start, but that maps have the contrary effect of implying that borders are fixed. It was therefore only when the European division was overcome that European maps were increasingly used to represent the continent as a closed space.

Abstract:

The philatelic medium is an extensive repository of the portraits of doctors of many nations. Using an electronic matching system to identify links between the lists of alumni and faculties register of Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore and that of three stamp catalogues, 14 notable persons have been identified in the philatelic record. The Johns Hopkins Hospital was established in Baltimore in 1889 and instituted the revolutionary concept of combining patient care with research and teaching. Its founder Johns Hopkins (1795–1873) and 13 among alumni and faculties have been portrayed on postage stamps and first day covers of USA, Canada, Antigua, Barbuda, Palau, Maldives, Canada and Sweden. Five of them – du Vigneaud (1901–78), Smith (b. 1931), Nathans (1928–99), Hubel (b. 1926) and Wiesel (b. 1924) – were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine or Physiology. By means of the philatelic medium, portraits of Hopkins scientists and doctors, including Sir William Osler (1849–1919) and Dr Virgina Apgar (1909–74), are distributed in their many tens of thousands on envelopes sent not only to recipients in the USA but to the wider world.

Abstract:

This chapter highlights the unique status of the postage stamp that, thanks to its multiple dimensions as an official symbol of its nation, contributes significantly to disseminate and promote the cultural heritage, history, identity, and all aspects of cultural life. Many national and international activities are organized around the postage stamp in the fields of culture, the economy, education, history, tourism, etc. Indeed, postage stamps can be identified with various aspects of philosophy, the economy, and education that are part of “a new paradigm of heritage.” Furthermore, the unique quasi-monetary status of the postage stamp is subject to laws and regulations that are enshrined in an international intergovernmental treaty that is renewed every four years by the 192 member countries of the Universal Postal Union. Such laws are essential to safeguard the postage stamp against industry abuses that are undermining the credibility, name, and identity of stamp-issuing countries as well as depriving their national authorities of important revenue.

Abstract:

This chapter takes a material culture approach in studying epistolary cultures of elite women in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Focusing primarily on the correspondence of Georgiana, sixth countess of Carlisle, it considers how the letter as an object could be an important marker of elite status and form part of the performance of aristocratic ideals. By examining the consumption of stationery, the use of paper, access to postal networks and archival practices, this chapter argues that creation, composition, sending and preserving of letters could all be used in the construction of the aristocratic self in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

Abstract:

This chapter considers the transnational collaboration between Samuel Beeton’s Englishwoman’s Domestic Magazine and the French magazine Le Moniteur de la mode, run by Beeton’s French counterpart Adolphe Goubaud. Using a range of historical source material, Van Remoortel explores the behind-the-scenes contributions made by women to the success of this venture and to each magazine. In particular, she argues that Louise Goubaud’s contribution to the emergence of the cheap fashion press ‘has been consistently misunderstood’ and that Beeton’s trailblazing status was in fact indebted to her work in a range of ways (47). In democratising women’s access to fashion and design, the Englishwoman’s Domestic Magazine ‘promoted a new kind of femininity’ (46). Indeed, the pattern postal service made fashion more accessible in literal terms as well, bringing international fashion into the lives of women who were unlikely to find themselves in the boutiques of Paris. Van Remoortel’s essay brings to the fore the significance of transnational exchange, a topic highlighted in a number of other essays in this volume.
