Today's Page 2 link 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". The entry reviews the 1944 Pontifical Academy issue, released to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the establishment of the Pontifical Academy of Virtuosi at the Pantheon.

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.
