Exhibits
As we continue to improve our website we have added a new feature: Irish Postal Exhibits. These exhibits show the diversity of subject matter and the variety of material on a single subject that can be displayed in an exhibit. On this site there are several award-winning exhibits of Irish material. As more exhibits are shown they will be added to the site. In the meantime, enjoy this wonderful aspect of Irish philately.
The exhibit shows the importance of coil stamps in the development of commercial mail in Ireland from Independence in 1922 until 1940 when the only change was in the stamp paper watermark from S E for Saorstat Eireann to e for Éire.
