Tunisia stamps 2021

by | Feb 14, 2021

Tunisia stamps 2021 topics and release dates are available. Unfortunately, Tunisian post offers few details about them.

Three stamps are currently available, plus First Day cancels and a couple of nice First Day Covers. The second stamp of the year, Abolition of Slavery in Tunisia is a strong issue. The National Authority to Combat Trafficking People chose Ridha Zaafran’s artwork to commemorate the anniversary. Accompanying Zaafran’s powerful art, is a photo of the 1846 declaration by Ahmed Bey abolishing slavery in the country. This is the first stamp produced by Zaafran for Tunisia Post. 

17 issues will be released throughout the year, totaling 35 stamps. Topics will include an assortment of anniversaries, arts and people. A few historical issues look fascinating, and I look forward to seeing them. It’s sad so little info is available. As I find details, I’ll share them with you.

“With the aim of helping to raise awareness of street art in Tunisia as an artistic current and independent mode of expression that has attracted the interest of many artists, especially young people, La Poste Tunisienne issued on May 20, 2021 a series of four postage stamps devoted to a sample of works of this artistic style.” Tunisian Post

Diversity is a strength.

UPDATE ALERT!!

Why yes, I am still alive. Really sorry about running out of steam this year, but I'll be plugging away at countries over the next two months, and hopefully get a lot more up. In the meantime, enjoy the rich year Canada offered. Lots of topics to think about.
