People’s Republic of the Congo – Scott #s 1021-26

Description

Congo (Republic) – Scott #1021–1026 (1993) MNH – Underwater Vehicles Set with Souvenir Sheet
Issued in 1993 by the République du Congo (Brazzaville), this fascinating six-stamp set (including souvenir sheet) celebrates the evolution of underwater exploration vehicles — from early research submersibles to modern diving technology.

Each stamp features a different sub-aquatic craft, beautifully illustrated against stylized aquatic backgrounds:

• 75F – Transport PC-1202

• 95F – J. Sea Link I

• 120F – Nemo

• 200F – Robot (Diver Suit)

• 250F – Alvin

• 400F Souvenir Sheet – Star III

The series pays tribute to human ingenuity and the scientific pursuit of deep-sea knowledge, with bright color printing and crisp modern design characteristic of early 1990s Congolese issues.

All stamps and the souvenir sheet are mint, never hinged (MNH), with full gum, vivid color, and sharp perforations. A superb thematic set for collectors of science and technology, marine exploration, or transportation on stamps.
