Bangladesh and Pakistan Stamp Collection

Bangladesh · 1972 ·

This is a framed collection of early stamps from Bangladesh, issued shortly after its independence, alongside stamps from Pakistan. The collection appears to feature definitive and commemorative issues, including map designs, which were common in the initial period of the new nation's postal history.

These stamps represent the birth of Bangladesh as an independent nation in 1971, following the Bangladesh Liberation War which led to its secession from Pakistan. Early issues often featured national symbols and maps to establish the new country's identity.
