Travel the World of Postage Stamps - Cars - Benz, 1910 - Cuba 1984 - Michel Cuba 2907

Greetings friends!

From the moment cars came into our world, an inexorable race against time began. Every year cars improved and it became more and more difficult to invent something new, original.

Quite recently, only in science fiction novels could we learn about electric vehicles, but already, today, we see them on the roads.

Even, in a neighboring yard, I could see an attempt to convert a factory car into something, according to the car owner, original, sporty and a little aggressive, but I think that this innovation was outdated at the first stage of construction, or, as it is fashionable to say today, an upgrade car.

But, the man brought his work to some kind of final, but lost the battle against time.

But, sometimes, time can be our helper. One such case is when time soaks through a small, perforated piece of paper called a postage stamp.

So, on very old postage stamps, we can see a long path of evolution of motor transport, from the first three-wheeled car with an internal combustion engine to quite recognizable in terms of such a concept as a car, iron horses, which, every year were driven under their hood more and more zealous horses.

A series of Cuban postage stamps "Automobiles", issued in 1984, is a bright journey into the world of technology and progress in the automotive industry.

Today, we complete the series with the latest 50 Cuban centavo postage stamp featuring a Benz, 1910 car.

This car is like a royal carriage, the driver of which hid behind the windshield, and the horses ran in different directions ... probably, passers-by, seeing this car on the roads, perceived it that way at a time when cars were very rare.

Let's take a look at this postage stamp.

For my publications, I do not use stock photographs, it is fundamentally important for me to use photographs that I have made with my own hands for publication and I can name them - authorial work.
