Abstract
SLIGHT changes in colour and design have just been made in certain postage stamps for Great Britain, printed for the first time by lithographic process now the United States of America has notified the appearance of new issues. These are to bear striking scenes from ten of Americas National Park areas, such as Yosemites El Capitan on the one cent stamp, the Grand Canyon on the two cent, Old Faithful Geyser on the five cent, Crater Lake on the seven cent, and, an interesting breakaway from tradition, a prehistoric apartment from the great Mesa Verde clifF palace on the four cent. There is a great deal to be said for the reproduction of features which give a new beauty and interest to each stamp, and at the same time spread a knowledge of the great natural monuments of the country open to traveller and naturalist.
