This Sunday Viridian choose for 'se-tenant stamps' as the Sunday Stamps' theme.
Nice topic!
However first I had to look up what 'se-tenant' means. This term is used in philately for stamps printed from the same plate and sheet, adjoining one another, unsevered in a strip or block. They differ from each other by design, color, denomination or overprint.
According to the English wikipedia, se-tenants may have a continuous design, but this is not necessarily so (see also the example showed in wikipedia).
In contrary, according to the Dutch wikipedia continuation of design is a main characteristic of 'se-tenants'. 'Se-tenant' is translated into Dutch as 'doorloper', which literally means that the picture is continuing one in the other.
So I thought this one, according to the Dutch word 'doorloper' is not a real se-tenant:
Although according to the English description they are. Furthermore these two stamps form a continuing part of the story (and of course I love to show you these characters: the bear Ollie B. Bommel and the cat Tom Poes).
Via Postcrossing I received this beautiful se-tenant from China:
According to the sheet edge on bottom of the card (how I love it when people add these parts, too!), this Czech stamp must be part of a se-tenant sheet, too:
In the Netherlands, every now and then continuing stamps are issued.
Several of the so-called 'children's stamps' are se-tenants. I posted one here already.
The following stamp sheet obviously is a continuing picture (alas the sheet isn't complete anymore as I've used two of the stamps):
The se-tenant of the maps and 'Bos Atlas' I showed in January (see here).
Some other Dutch se-tenants:
'Day of the Stamp' (2012), showing former queen Juliana:
Stamp sheet commemorating 150 years of Blijdorp, the Rotterdam Zoo (in 2006). The sheet shows threatened species:
Six (from ten) stamps issued due to the 100 years celebration of the Royal Dutch Forestry Association:
Stamp sheet issued for the 100th anniversary of the Dutch Open Air Museum (in 2012), subtitled '100 years tribute to the daily life':
Heleen received more postcards than the 'postcrossing wall' was able to carry. Also she received - and sent - postcards besides postcrossing cards. Where to collect them? Well, here, of course! Heleen ontving méér kaarten dan op de 'postcrossing wall' pasten. Ook ontving en stuurde zij kaarten buiten postcrossing om. Maar waar moesten die kaarten nu verzameld worden? Nou, hier, natuurlijk.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenI like the most the forestry stamps.
My goodness! So many sets of stamps! They are really beautiful.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe se-tenant collection of the week! A varied mix.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWow you have an amazing variety of se-tenant stamps. I always enjoy Chinese stories so the giving up of the pears is my favourite.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThat Czech stamp is lovely. I have been fortunate to receive some beautiful se-tenant stamps from Ukraine.
