On 30 April, the United Nations Postal Administration (Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵPA) will issue a special event sheet to commemorate the seventieth anniversary of its New York office.
Designed by Sergio Baradat of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵPA, the sheet of ten $1.20 stamps features a collage of past stamps issued throughout the history of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵPA.
The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵPA issued its first stamps on United Nations Day, 24 October 1951, and two stamps released on that day are featured on the sheet. They depict the 1951 five-cent stamp commemorating Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵICEF and the 1-cent ¡°Peoples of the World¡± stamp.
The tabs of the stamps feature black and white photographs of historic events and activities of the New York office, including the signing of a postal agreement with the United States on 28 March 1951.
Shown on the left side of the sheet is a photograph of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ General Assembly Hall with the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ emblem and a globe with a montage of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ stamp images.
