Today's entry covers the Interregnum Issue of 1939, the stamps issued following the death of Pope Pius XI. The article first appeared in the book Vatican, published by the National Philatelic Museum in conjunction with the Vatican Marian Year Philatelic Exhibition, held at the Museum in September, 1954. We hope you enjoy this serial review of the early stamps issued by Vatican City.
