Travel the World of Postage Stamps - Dogs: (III) 1978 - Chow Chow (Canis lupus familiaris) - Equatorial Guinea 1978 - Yvert and Tellier: Equatorial Guinea 127-F - my hobby.

Greetings friends!

Africa, this is not the most friendly continent for travelers, no, I'm not talking about people, as a rule, people will smile at you, but such a journey is fraught with some dangers, such as illness, you need to get a whole series of vaccinations before you you will get to the continent and the dangers that wild animals bring you, if you find yourself alone with nature, be careful.

Today, we are being chased by a whole pack of dogs that we see on the Dogs: (III) 1978 series of postage stamps, issued in Equatorial Guinea in 1978.

On the next postage stamp we see a dog of the breed - Chow Chow (Canis lupus familiaris).

Earlier, I said that this series of stamps was printed very casually.

You can see blurry lines and ... look at the dog's nose, it has been cropped.

When preparing a photograph for printing a postage stamp, even. did not bother to arrange it in such a way that we would see the Chow Chow face completely.

I think that these are the costs of that time, of that country and that government, which put profit above their own dignity.

Imagine that every American dollar bill would be printed in the same way, and, after all, both he and the postage stamp are financial documents of strict accountability.

Let's take a look at this postage stamp.

I edited a photo in the program PhotoDirector, which I also installed on my smartphone.
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.
