Cuba 1936 Christopher Columbus Discovery of America, Unissued Set

Cuba · 1936 · 2c, 5c, 13c

This unissued set of three airmail stamps commemorates the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus. The designs feature Columbus's flagship, the Santa Maria, a portrait of Columbus, and an allegorical scene of his landing. The stamps were prepared but never officially released for postal use.

Prepared during a period of political instability in Cuba, these stamps were intended for airmail service but were ultimately not issued, possibly due to changes in government or postal policy. They remain a popular item for collectors of Cuban philately.
