Contents

By way of explanation, this table consists of two major parts: the first part is about specific individuals and/or events; the second part is about, what could be called, generic persons or subjects.

Throughout the Contents, the people honored, by the stamps are placed in a chronological order, i.e., according to the date of issue of the particular stamp. If there is a multiplicity of issues, honoring the same individual, then the chronological order is based on the first stamp issued with later stamps grouped therein.

NOTE: All stamp sizes are increased by 175% unless otherwise stated.
