    A nice video showcasing the stamps of Kenya, Uganda and Tanganyika. Below are a few notes that may be interesting. 07:23 The 30c and 5/- Jinja Bridge stamps have a design flaw in the King George V issue in that the road part of the bridge is missing on the left-hand side. This flaw was corrected in the King George VI issue. 09:49 Kilimanjaro doesn't mean Kaiser's Mountain. It actually means Mountain of God from kilima meaning mountain and Njaro meaning God. Interestingly, Kenya, which was named after Mount Kenya also means Mountain of God derived from a mispronunciation of Kiri Nyaga. The tribespeople who were escorting the Europeans around were from a different area and they didn't have r and g sounds in their language, so Kiri became Kii and Nyaga became Nyaa Kii+Nyaa = Kiinyaa and so Kenya. 10:54 An error also exists on some of the 70c on 1/- values of the South African overprint stamps in that on one stamp in each sheet there is a bracket to the right of 70c and Kenya. 10:57 They are usually referred to as the Victory issue rather than the Peace issue. 11:37 The only stamps issued for King Edward VIII were from Great Britain. This issue was however overprinted for such places as the Morocco Agencies, etc. but there were no other original stamps issued for the British colonies, territories and other possessions. Some were produced but never issued.

We love this sort of engagement and education. Happy collecting!

    Thanks again for a great video that explains the printing process very well. May I please ask a stupid question? Is "Offset Lithograph" the same as just "Lithograph" - the first being a more accurate term? Or does one also get another Lithograph stamp printing than "Offset"?

    • @arniejanson2216
      @arniejanson2216 Před 19 dny

      Hi. Thanks for the compliments, glad you enjoyed it. There is a big difference between ordinary lithography and offset lithography. In ordinary lithography, the ink and water are applied to the printing plate and then the paper is pressed onto the plate. Very simple, & straightforward. In offset lithography, the ink and water are applied to the printing plate and, after excess ink is removed by a wiper, the ink only is transferred to an oleophilic (likes oil-based inks and not water) intermediate roller (typically called the transfer roller or offset roller) and this intermediate roller applies the ink to the paper. Explanation is the video starts at 1:43. Lots of advantages with offset lithography so all modern stamps would be printed by offset lithography. The most obvious is that with ordinary lithography, the image on the printing plate has be a reverse image (I.e. backwards) while in offset lithography, the image on the printing plate is the same as the final stamp image. That is because it is reversed when the image is applied to the transfer roller - and reversed again (back to the original) when the transfer roller apples the ink to the paper. Another advantage is that quicker drying inks can be used and the printing plate life is longer because it only contacts the rubber offset roller and not the paper. If you have more questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Arnie Janson

    There are in fact three ethnic groups in Rwanda, the Hutu who represent the majority, then there are the Tutsi and finally the Twa (pigmies) which only represent about 1% of the population. Rwanda is a beautiful country with a rich culture. Back in 2000 I spent 9 weeks there as a war crimes investigator. Rwanda is known as the country of a thousand hills. It is also where Diane Fossey, the well known and respect expert on the mountain gorilla was murdered.

That must have been an excruciatingly difficult job and we thank you for it. We wholeheartedly agree that Rwanda is a beautiful country with a rich culture and fascinating history.

      Thanks for your comments. Yes the investigations in Rwanda were indeed difficult for a number of reasons. They were very emotionally draining especially after interviewing the hundreds of victims who suffered so much both physically and emotionally. Most suffered with PTSD and intergenerational trauma. It should be also remembered that many Hutu were victims, especially in the south in and around the city of Butare near the border with Burundi.

      Prior to going to Rwanda in 2000, I had some limited knowledge of their history and culture as I read a number of books and papers by Dian Fossey and her work with the Mountain Gorillas in Rwanda and of course through the news of the events during the Genocide. At the time that I went I was a Member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The Mounties have a special Unit called the War Crimes Unit based in Ottawa, Ontario. One of our mandates was to investigate allegations that certain Rwandans living in Canada had participated in the Genocide and if there was sufficient evidence bring them to justice in Canada. Which we did with the case of Desire Munyaneza who was the first person convicted in Canada of Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity.Prior to going to Rwanda I spent a great deal of time reading anything I could my hands on about the history and events in 1994 as well as interviewing Rwandans living in Canada. These were difficult investigations for a number of reasons.

      It does look like fun doesn't it! ISCNY will definitely be diving in and making a version ourselves. Phil has already volunteered to arbitrate what goes in it, lol. If you are interested in getting the pages, my recommendation would be to email Arnie directly. His email is given at the very beginning of the video.

      ​@@kengilbride7182 It's one of the joys of philately isn't it. Stamps are political, social and cultural statements that really lead us down these incredible rabbit holes of history. It's a fascinating way to learn.

      Yes, there was an extended discussion even after Arnie's presentation on the private corporations, and what about rebel groups versus military occupations. The group decided that that was half the fun, that as a group you could come to a consensus about what you wanted to include. Thanks for watching!

    Thanks for the video. Recently got into precancels and I am loving it so much. I am looking up little towns in the U.S., it’a a journey. So excited to find a new cancellation. Your video really helped as I am still a novice at this area. Thank you so much!

    Nice presentation Tara. I am in the same boat as you are. The learning curve is massive for world collectors, and the U.S.P.S. doesn't make it any easier with all the changes and variations that exist in just the U.S. stamps alone.

    • @peibelmont
      @peibelmont Před 21 dnem

      I'm glad I am not alone. Relocating to the United States means I am way behind the curve when it comes to collecting US stamp. The darn USPS watermarks just trick me up! It's great when I see them, but when I don't I have no idea if its because the cancel is obscuring the watermark or if its positioned in such a way that it only has a small part of the watermark I am missing. Give me the British Colonial watermarks any day over the American!

      I know several collectors who whole heartedly agree with you. Especially as they are relatively low value stamps. My sense of mandatory order though drives me to classify everything. The greater the subtle minutia the more I am motivated. Not sure what that says about me, lol.
