the October Revolution
Here is a brief exhibit I put together for a competition at Stamp Bears, which is one of the best philatelic forums out there. You can visit the exhibit on the site by clicking here: http://www.stampbears.proboards.com/thread/362/entry-2nd-exhibit-old-site.
It is not an exhaustive display of all the stamps that relate to the revolution but was thrown together to show some of the issues from the USSR extolling the virtues of the Russian Revolution. Below are the 5 pages, 4 display plus one cover. The intent of these competitions is to demonstrate history through stamps.
I hope you enjoy the exhibit and please leave your comments letting me know what you think. And please visit and join Stamp Bears, they can be found at http://www.stampbears.net.
