Economic Progress 5 year plan Agricultural Medicinal plants Flowers etc & etc help! http://cjoint.com/data/dvoIPgc1Ab.htm Hi Rod, The 15 ct (for stotinki) stamp (sunflower) comes from a set of 20 stamps on "National Products" issued in 1938. This one is Scott 319 (Yvert 302). Minimal cat.value. I have now no time left now to search for the 1 ct one (butterfly). BTW: Is there any particular era in Bulgarian history when "Bulgarie" appeared , or just this issue? Bulgarie is the French for Bulgaria. Normally, according to the UPU regulations, all the stamps from all the world (apart the UK which has the priviledge as the 1st stamp issuing nation to show only the Queen's head) should have the name of the country in latin letters. Thus the cyrillic letters (alone) should be normally banned. Bulgaria translated its name either in French either in English or did not. This practice varied during the years. -- All the best, Pierre Courtiade to answer me, please replace NOSPAM by my family name |

... snip http://cjoint.com/data/dvoIPgc1Ab.htm BTW: Is there any particular era in Bulgarian history when "Bulgarie" appeared , or just this issue? An interesting question. I don't know why they started to write the name of the country in French in 1938 (maybe in the hope of escaping a war that later brought with it an occupation for 45 years). I have found another set (of Dec. 1940) where the name Boulgarie reappears. Because the Bulgars use both alphabets, it is often that on one stamp of a set the name of the country appears in Cyrillic, and on the other one in Latin (as Bulgaria, example from 1953, Marx). When there is more place, both versions of the name appears, like on the 1953 sheet Plants. Later only the version in Cyrillic is used, probably to please the big liberator from the North... And much later (1989?) both versions appear together on stamps. -- Victor Manta ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Communism on Stamps: http://reds-on.postalstamps.biz/ Philatelic Webmasters Organization: http://pwmo.org/ Art on Stamps: http://artonstamps.org/ Romania by Stamps: http://marci-postale.com/ Spanish North Africa: http://www.sna-on.postalstamps.biz/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

An interesting question. I don't know why they started to write the name
of the country in French in 1938 (maybe in the hope of escaping a war that later brought with it an occupation for 45 years). I have found another set (of Dec. 1940) where the name Boulgarie reappears. Thanks for that Victor, It was circa 1938 that Bulgaria seems to me to have shaken off the, up till then, European ubiquitous design patterns, the central ovals with portraits, spandrels and script design. When I first started collecting, I thought Bulgaria had a certain cinderella feel, the topic designs often used bland colours and niggard inticacies in design, however, when you see the set in the larger panorama, you can see a distinct country-centric design. It amazes me how countries maintain their individualities seemingly right through their catalogue, Czechoslovakia, Mongolia and Bulgaria are instantly recognisable in their individuality, but Bulgaria certainly is the hardest to catalogue for a language challenged fellow like myself |
