Taiwan 1950s Postal Stationery Set

Taiwan (Republic of China) · 1950 · Various

This is a set of three different postal stationery items issued by Taiwan in the 1950s. Postal stationery includes items like postal cards, stamped envelopes, and aerogrammes where the postage is pre-printed directly onto the paper. Designs from this period often featured patriotic themes, maps of China, or portraits of national figures like Sun Yat-sen or Chiang Kai-shek.

In the 1950s, the Republic of China government, having relocated to Taiwan, used postage and postal stationery to assert its claim as the legitimate government of all of China. The designs often reinforced nationalist identity and political ideology during the early Cold War period.
