Scope and Contents

Wheatley's stamps are visual poems on the country of origin, e.g., the Polish stamp depicts an image of telephone poles, the Bhutan stamp - ladies boots, the Grenada stamp - hand grenade. Made in the style of a stamp album with 16 mock stamps, one to each leaf. The stamps illustrate a play on words-Taiwan-the stamp illustrates a tie. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
