In view of the blazing conflicts and inhumane wars around the world,
Philately Liechtenstein would like to send out a call for peace to the
world with its new issue. As living in a peaceful country cannot be
taken for granted, special attention is to be paid to the topic of peace.
In
her design, designer Michèle Steffen-Goop has expressed the idea that
peace comes from small things and from interpersonal relationships. As
an individual, every person can and should always keep peace in mind and
live in respectful interaction with others.
Despite its restraint
and fragility, the dove of peace is the focus of the new "Peace" special
stamp (face value: CHF 1.90). It forms the eye of a face depicted in
profile, which is sometimes only recognisable at second glance. The dove
symbolises the prospect of peace as well as peace in one's own thoughts.
The watercolour is kept simple in the colours of white and blue.
