Description
This set consists of Cambodia Scott #s 272–274, a three-stamp commemorative series issued in 1972 to mark the International Book Year (Année Internationale du Livre). The unified design features a stylized open book forming human figures, set against a globe, symbolizing literacy, education, and the global exchange of knowledge.
Issued during the Khmer Republic period, the series reflects Cambodia’s participation in international cultural initiatives promoted by UNESCO. The clean, modern graphic style distinguishes these stamps from earlier pictorial issues and underscores the universal theme of reading and education as tools for social development.
The set includes three different denominations, each printed in a distinct color while maintaining a consistent layout and iconography. Together, they form a cohesive thematic group appealing to both topical and country collectors.
All stamps in this set are mint, never hinged (MNH), with full original gum and sharp impressions. Condition is uniform across the group, making it a desirable intact set rather than individual singles.
A strong addition for collections focused on education themes, UNESCO-related issues, Cambodian philately, or 20th-century cultural commemoratives.
