Travel the World of Postage Stamps - Butterflies (1984) - Suffused Acraea (Acraea stenobea) - Lesotho 1984 - Michel's Lesotho 449 - my hobby.

Greetings friends!

Today we will see the latest postage stamp from the Butterflies (1984) series of postage stamps, issued in Lesotho in 1984, which is in my collection, featuring the beautiful butterfly Suffused Acraea (Acraea stenobea).

I said that this is the last, but at the moment, a postage stamp. The fact is that in my collection there are only seven stamps out of sixteen.

Yes, this is a very large series of postage stamps that were sold separately.

I have to find the missing postage stamps and, who knows, maybe the series of posts about the postage stamps of the South African country of Lesotho will one day continue.

For me, this journey is not over. Many expeditions were forced to interrupt their progress and wait, for example: a favorable wind, or the melting of the ice of rivers and the ocean.

I believe in the success of this business and will continue to search.

The postage stamp, which you will see below, has a denomination of 10 Lesotho sente, and the circulation is not known to me.

I want to note that the printing of these postage stamps was done with amazing quality, we must pay tribute to the designer and the artist who arranged the images for the postage stamps, painted them and selected a very pleasing color scheme for the eyes.

Let's take a look at this postage stamp.

For my publications, I do not use stock photographs, it is fundamentally important for me to use photographs that I have made with my own hands for publication and I can name them - authorial work.
