United Nations, NY – Scott #s 304-07

Description

Issued in 1977, United Nations Scott #304–307 form a striking commemorative set celebrating the core principles of the United Nations: tolerance, human rights, peace, justice, and global security. The issue reflects the UN’s ongoing mission to promote cooperation and dignity for all people during a period of Cold War tension and social change.

Each stamp presents a bold, modern graphic design rather than a traditional pictorial scene. The 5-cent stamp promotes tolerance, showing a globe embraced by colorful abstract forms suggesting diversity and coexistence. The 14-cent value highlights faith in fundamental human rights, using stylized tree-like forms to represent growth and shared humanity. The 15-cent stamp depicts a hand protecting the Earth, symbolizing peace and care for the planet. The 20-cent value features doves flying across a globe, representing peace, justice, and security.

Printed in vibrant colors with clean geometric lines, the set reflects the graphic design style of the late 1970s and gives the stamps a strong poster-like impact. Multilingual inscriptions emphasize the international nature of the UN and its universal message.

This set is offered mint never hinged (MNH), with full original gum, fresh color, and clean perforations. A visually powerful group for collectors of United Nations stamps, human rights themes, and modern design.
