| Abstract: | Since 1964 Chev. Cremona has been designing stylish and highly decorative Christmas stamps for Malta, the island of his birth. In fact fifteen Christmas sets comprising 48 stamps, three triptychs and three miniature sheets have been issued so far. The themes of the stamps are varied - most depicting Nativity scenes, including the adoration of the Magi, folkloristic musicians, Heavenly angels and choir boys associated with Christmas time and the star of Bethlehem. The 1969 triptych has as its background Mdina Cathedral and Bastions, while the 1970 stamps are scenes against a background of three Maltese Churches. [excerpt] |
