Philately, the hobby of collecting stamps, is one of the most resilient obsessions that has stood the test of time. Stamps are living documents, they help us know a lot about the time and place of the story that is printed on their faces.

Philately Life explores the history, culture, and arts of the world through the postal stamps of various nations, old and new. The stamps are primarily from my own collection and are digitized and posted with a context.
