Robert Gray, Chief of the United

attend
the first day ceremony at NAPEX 2007
for the
six stamps and souvenir card with the
theme of
Peaceful Visions.
The
images, are water color paintings by
Canadian artist Slavka Kolesar. She
states the stamps “...show figures
engaged in the inward contemplation of
a common vision that animates them.”
The six stamps are issued in panes
of 20 with marginal inscriptions
using the three currencies of the United
Nations Postal Administration—US
dollars (39˘ & 84˘), Swiss francs (1,20
F.s & 1,80 F.s), and euros (
i0,55
& i1,25
). The card depicts the new
stamps with a statement by the UN
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. The
UNPA will sell at face value (using
current exchange rates) and cancel
these six stamps at
Booth #65
during show hours all three show days.
