The 2006 National Parks Series: Cocos Island<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most colorful modern issues is, without a doubt, the one showing various underwater scenes and some birds of Cocos Island, catalogued with Scott's No. 593, whose sheet of 10 stamps is assigned a value of $50. Its consumption was very fast and soon the warehouses of the Post Office in Zapote regretted that they were without these stamps. Many philatelists acquired several sheets to use them as a means of exchange, because of the beauty of the designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deirdre Hyde and Cocos Island<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The designs of this postcard series were taken from a poster<\/em> painted by English artist Deirdre Hide, who graduated in fine art from Sherborne in 1963, with a postgraduate degree from Reading University. Subsequently, in 1977 she obtained her degree in education in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n

Between 1979 and 2000, he worked for national park services in Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama and Belize with the World Wide Fund program, in Guatemala with the IUCN, in El Salvador with USAID and in both Brazil and Mexico with the Smithsonian Institute. (Wikipedia)<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her work, as in the Greek sculptures to which she insistently refers, people are suspended in a moment of awakening, arrested in the air or in the water, in an out-of-equilibrium flow, revealed only by modern vision.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gicl\u00e9e or canvas reproduction of the painting \u201cThe Treasure is the Island\u201d.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This gicl\u00e9e<\/em> is a work of great beauty that shows the ecosystem of Cocos Island National Park, its marine and terrestrial biodiversity, as well as the imposing richness of its natural resources, without forgetting the petroglyphs that narrate the stories of pirates and whalers. This work was made by Mrs. Hyde on acrylic canvas and it is from here where the images that compose the stamp series were obtained. From the original photograph were obtained the different portions, one for each stamp, shown below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Origin of the postal issue<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This issue was authorized by Resolution No. 3309 of the Board of Directors of the 630th Session of September 26, 2005, with a mintage of 20,000 units of each of the ten stamps. The first day of circulation was August 25, 2006. They were printed by Gozaka S. A. and the design was by Cristian Ram\u00edrez Vargas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From a photograph of the original canvas, with the colors corrected by the painter Deirdre Hyde, we were able to locate each of the different stamp motifs as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n

Philatelic Aspects<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this series, which was extremely short in print run due to its vogue, only twenty thousand units of each of the stamps were printed; no errors or varieties are known after 16 years of being out of print. We would appreciate any information in this regard. The following images show both sides of an envelope that was mailed to Brazil in December 2007.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
