The Stamps of Fairyland
A MICRONATION BY ERIC WHOLLEM

This is my first published cyberstamp from Fairyland, a realm
for which I have been Postmaster General since the first issues
in DOS System Print Master Program typeface. These were in limted
editons in black on various colored paper stock. This was back in 1999,
at the inception of my Artist Stamps.

These were later reissued in full color from manually rendered
proof sheets, which were then printed on a Canon Laser Printer,
gummed with homemade stamp gum, and perforated by manual
die cutter--in signed edtions of 100.

With so many stamps to create and share with the world, the many
hundreds of my early issues have not yet been viewed online.

This stamp from the Cantharidian Isle is a recent issue from a fairy
kingdom that exists on an ephemeral island off the Scottish coast.
Cantharidia is the isle of my Muse.

A Short History of the Penny Post

These stamps are my own fantasy rendition of the Penny Post,
which originated in 1680 in London, when a merchant, one William
Dockwra, established a local postal service for the city.

In 1840 Rowland Hill established a national Penny Post for Britain.
The Penny Black, the world's first postage stamp was born.

Fairy Stamps From Cantharidia

These Penny Post stamps feature an image of Flora, the

artist's personification of the Spirit of Nature. Nature spirits,

or fairies, are given varying names in different cultures.

The Irish call them Leprecauns. One designation of the Welsh

is the Tylweth Teg. In France they are called the Fays, etc.

These stamps are dedicated to the principle of  'Saving Our

Pollinators,' as nature's charm naturally incorporates the

survival of the means of nature's regeneration. In our supposed

modern times, humanity has neglected it's duty to the planet, and

the results have been grievous.
