Poland (1940) - Copernicus Memorial


Satu lagi setem pengiktirafan kepada Copernicus diterbitkan oleh Poland pada 1940.


Copernicus Memorial

Info dari sumber - link:

In 1900 a monument to Nicolaus Copernicus was set up in the courtyard of his alma mater, the Collegium Maius (Great College) of the Jagiellonian University in Cracow. Copernicus is modelled in a cape, holding an armillary sphere. The statue is not there now, as it was moved to the Witkowski Collegium in nearby Planty Park in 1953, but this stamp shows how it looked in 1940. As the inscription “Generalgouvernement” and the Nazi eagle indicate, this stamp was released while Poland was under German occupation during World War II.
