Publisher's Synopsis
Postage stamp designing is a relatively lesser-known form of applied art because of its limited application in a very specific area. It does not have any scope of commercial exploitation like other forms of graphic art. 'A Stamp is Born' discusses the design process behind stamp designing, as well as the many factors that go into creating a postage stamp. From the first stamps in Britain to their migration to India, this is a lushly-illustrated guide to the process of creating a stamp.
