The Page 2 link below connects the reader to the next excerpt from the 1954 article by the first president of the Vatican Philatelic Society, William Wonneberger, "The Vatican's Postage Stamps". Today's entry reviews the 1943 Episcopal Jubilee issue, released to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Pope Pius XII's consecration as Archbishop of Sardia in 1917. 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. |
