Sheikh Lotf Allah Mosque


A card from what is referred to as Persia in the message is my latest of my flea market finds. It shows the Sheikh Lotf Allah Mosque, part of the Naghsh-i Jahan Square in Isfahan, a World Heritage Site. The postmark is illegible but the stamps were both issued in 1963.

Industrial Development

Mothers' Day

During 1963 there were stamps issued to commemorate state visits from several world leaders.  How things have changed.

This is a post for Sunday Stamps, now hosted by Violet Sky at "See it on a Postcard!"

  1. The industrial design stamp looks 'industrial', even if I can't identify the different parts shown!

  2. What a lovely postcard. I imagine it looks pretty similar today. My dad worked in both Iran and Iraq. And Libya, now that I think of it.
