Sudan 1954 Definitive Series - Camel Postman

Sudan · 1954 · 1m

This definitive stamp features a dynamic design of a camel postman, known as a 'hageen,' riding at speed across the desert. The design, created by Major H.C. McMichael, symbolizes the vital role of camel-mounted mail carriers in connecting remote parts of Sudan before modern transportation. The denomination is 1 millieme.

Issued in 1954, this stamp was part of a definitive series released during the Anglo-Egyptian condominium period, just before Sudan gained independence in 1956. The series highlighted local culture, wildlife, and infrastructure.
