Turkey Stamps [8th Post]

New Entries

I have designated this post to show some new Turkish entries in the collection... but two possibilities were 'on the table'... or showing and talking of two large series of definitive stamps, or a group of several series from the 40's to the 60's...In the end , I choose the last option and so we will have many small series ,most of them completed...

I want to talk a little about the changes I've made in the Post Title's...in the old way , I choose a stamp or a group of stamps showed in the post to create the title... the problem is that after a small analysis to the Blog movement of viewers , sometimes people just appear in the blog waiting for something else... they were unwittingly 'deceived' by the title.. they enter the blog and leave almost immediately.. well I don't like to deceive people , so the new titles will say exactly what is the content of the post (what is the post about..)..I think this is the correct thing to do...!

the stamp represents President Ataturk in the role of Professor teaching young students...

1938 "10th Anniversary of the Reform of the Turkish Alphabet" (6) [Photo (Courvoisier)] Sc(802)

These are the stamps that were missing in this series.. the others were presented in a previous post...it is a very famous series with focus on the figure of Kemal Ataturk.

1960 "Revolution of 27 May of 1960" (4) [Photo (Harrison and Sons, Ltd)] Sc(1502,...,1505)

This period of Turkish Philately is rich in 'poster like' designs... in fact, many of the Stamp Designers (in the World..) from the 40's, 50's and 60's were Poster designer's and worked  for the industry of Publicity and Marketing or just for the war effort (in the 40's) ...this series is a good example of that Background with at least two designs that could be very nice posters or movie advertisers...

1961 "50th Anniversary of Turkish Air Force" (3) [Photo (Istanbul)] Sc(1515,...,1517)

A series about an Astronomical Observatory in Turkey... two views of the building and what could be a sextant (I don't know what it is...) , together with a portrait of Fatin Gokmen (1877/1955) , astronomer responsible for the constant upgrade of the Kandilii Observatory...he was recently honored with his name in one of the last Astronomical Discovery (a dwarf planet, now called Fatin.)... these far and distant objects ,first receive a name only with numbers , but then they are a good opportunity for the International Scientific Community to honor the Global Heroes of the Past...  Nice..!

1961 "50th Anniversary of the Kandilli Observatory" (4) [Photo (Istanbul)] Sc(B81,...,B84)

1963 "600th Anniversary of the Conquest of Edirne (Adrianople)" (4) [Photo (Istanbul)] Sc(1587,...,1590)

the stamp with Kemal Ataturk staring at the Airplanes in formation,is very well imagined.. nice stamp..

1965 "40th Anniversary of the Turkish Aviation League" (3) [Photo (Istanbul)] Sc(1633,...,1635)

These are very good representatives of the Graphic Design applied to stamps..

1965 "Telecomunications Meeting of the Central Treaty Organization (CENTO)" (3) [Photo (Istanbul)] Sc(1636,...,1638)

1966 "400th Anniversary of the Death of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent" (3) [Photo (Ankara)] Sc(1715,...,1717)

It is the end of the post and I want to say that I don't like doing this kind of posts , just showing stamps and without no personal opinions, but today it is what  I've got , because I'm  again in a 'no talk' kind of day...
