Gambia – Scott #s 1790-93

Description

This mint never hinged stamp set from The Gambia, Scott #1790–1793, presents a richly illustrated biblical and historical architecture series centered on Jerusalem and key figures from Judeo-Christian tradition. Issued as a cohesive four-stamp set, the designs combine portraiture with detailed depictions of sacred sites associated with the ancient city.

The set includes:

• D1.50 – Absalom, shown against the backdrop of Jerusalem

• D2 – The Gate of Mercy (Golden Gate)

• D3 – Church of the Holy Sepulchre

• D10 – The Western Wall of the Temple Mount

Each stamp features finely engraved-style artwork with warm earth tones and architectural detail, blending religious history with visual storytelling. The designs reflect a late 20th-century trend in Gambian philately toward internationally recognizable historical and religious themes aimed at topical collectors.

All four stamps are offered MNH, with full original gum, clean margins, and sharp perforations. This set is well suited for collectors of biblical subjects, religious architecture, Jerusalem-themed material, or modern African commemorative issues.
