Summer Camp for Stamp Collectors
via ONLINE MODE | 05 - 28 May 2021
Stamps provide a microcosm of the world, or in other words, they are miniature gateways to the globe!
Philately is the study of postage stamps, stamped envelopes, postmarks, postcards, etc. It also refers to the art of collecting these items.
It is a lovely and exciting hobby that’s not only sheer joy and fun, but also highly educative in its appeal.
The stamp collector gets to gain knowledge on a range of fields right from geography, geology, demography, to history, culture, art, etc.,
That’s hence philately is also called “The King of hobbies!”
