Samir Ghantous.
I remember Googling for Samir Ghantous seven years ago, when I began collecting Dunes. He is apparently a "famous" Lebanese painter. Some proof sheets of his from Yemen http://tiny.cc/rOBlR There is an image of one "Samir Ghantous" on facebook, but I have no idea if the image and the painter are the same person. He may have been the painter behind a lot of Clive Feigenbaum's labels |

... Tchad Ghantous Bucaresti http://cjoint.com/data/etqxbSVnhS.htm Thanks, Rodney! This MS was issued on 20th June 1972 in the name of Chad. It isn't listed by my Scott or by Michel, so that I can suppose that it was issued by one of those three agencies that couldn't "convince" the Chad officials, apparently including the President Tombalbaye (as Scott mentions it), to list the MS as a recognized issue. Just to notice that President Tombalbaye is known for having arrested some major political companions for allegedly using witchcraft to overthrow him. The name of the capital, Fort-Lamy, that appears on the cancellation, was changed by Tombalbaye on April 6, 1973 to N'Djamena, and he changed his own name to Ngarta, both actions under the guise of so-called "authenticité". http://www.marci-postale.com/History...ting-in-ro.htm -- Victor Manta ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Romania by Stamps: http://marci-postale.com/ Communism on Stamps: http://reds-on.postalstamps.biz/ Philatelic Webmasters Organization: http://pwmo.org/ Art on Stamps: http://artonstamps.org/ Spanish North Africa: http://www.sna-on.postalstamps.biz/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Fujeira Ghantous Bucaresti http://cjoint.com/data/eufRxgA0Zn.htm Poor scans from 7 years ago. Probably under influence, the printings were changed on a lot of the Dunes, and the later issues were printed "Imp Liban" amongst others. Tchad Ghantous Bucaresti http://cjoint.com/data/etqxbSVnhS.htm |
