First Day Cover envelope and stamp
A NEW STAMP to mark the centenary of Ireland’s admittance to the League of Nations will be released by An Post.
The stamp will be released on Thursday, September 7 as this year marks 100 years of Ireland joining the League of Nations, giving the Irish Free State the opportunity to engage more extensively with other countries.
The stamp, produced by design house Zero-G, is available at main post offices, Dublin’s GPO or online. An accompanying First Day Cover envelope shows the then Irish Free State delegation to the League of Nations, September 1923, courtesy of National Archives of Ireland.
The Tánaiste, Minister for Foreign Affairs and Minister for Defence, Micheál Martin TD said: “I am delighted to welcome this new stamp, a timely reminder of Ireland’s history of active engagement in world affairs.
“It is important that we remember and celebrate the significance of Ireland taking our place among our fellow nations. This stamp commemorates Ireland’s ambition as a new state and marks our active engagement in world affairs ever since.”
The League was founded in January, 1920 by the Paris Peace Conference that formally ended the war. The League was formally disbanded in 1946 and its powers and functions transferred to the United Nations.
The stamp design presents a symbolic representation of Ireland’s membership of the League, featuring the colours of a selection of countries from both the founding members and those countries which joined prior to Ireland, and the tricolour of Ireland.
