How About
Umbrella as a Theme?
– © Dr. Avinash B. Jagtap, Switzerland
There are some favourite themes in thematic philately, which
are popular with stamp collectors and there are others which are considered to
be rather “unfortunate”, because there are very few philatelic items which
could be found available to build a sizable collection. It is better some time
to think over such uncommon themes, so that one may not repent afterwards to
have selected a “rare” or “uncommon” theme.
In such case, collection of appropriate material is a long time journey,
provided one has enough patience to wait for taking part in a competition or
exhibitions at national or international level. So when I thought of “Umbrella”
as a theme, I was pretty sure that I might have a lot of difficulty in finding
out appropriate philatelic material in order to compile a satisfactory number
of elements leading to a sizable collection.
