Since 1840, when the Penny Black featured a profile of Queen Victoria, it has been a tradition worldwide for nations to honor individuals on their postage stamps. Typical choices include monarchs, important figures of history, politicians, cultural leaders, and (more recently) celebrities. The usual practice is for the stamp to feature a portrait of the person, either full-length or head alone. In a few cases, the person being honored is represented by an image relating to the person's life. However, the depiction of a work of art (such as for a Christmas stamp) is not considered to be honoring the artist. The list that follows is an index to the lists of people for individual countries. In some cases, several short lists from related countries are merged into a single list, while entries without links indicate entities that never had any people on their stamps. The parenthesized dates following each entry indicates the first and last dates of stamp issuance; within each country's list, the date or dates indicates the year of the person's appearance on a stamp. __NOTOC__ == A == *Abkhazia (1993–) *Abu Dhabi (1964–1972) *Aden (1937–1965) * *Kathiri State of Seiyun (1942–1964) * *Qu'aiti State in Hadhramaut (1942–1963) *French Territory of the Afars and Issas (1966–1977) *Afghanistan (1871–) *La Agüera (1920–1922) *Aitutaki (1903–1996) *Ajman (1964–1968) *Alaouites (1925–1930) *Albania (1913–) *Alexandretta (1938-1938) *Algeria (1924–) *Andorra (1928–) *Angra (1892–1905) *Angola (1870–) *Anguilla (1967–) *Antigua and Barbuda (1862–) *Argentina (1858–) *Armenia (1919–1922, 1992–) *Aruba (1986–) *Ascension (1922–) *Australia (1913–) * *Australian Antarctic Territory (1957–) *Austria (1850–) * *Lombardy-Venetia (1850–1865) * *Italian occupation (1918–1919) * *List of people on stamps of Austrian post offices in Crete (1903–1913) * *Austrian post offices in the Turkish Empire (1867–1913) *Azerbaijan (1919–1924, 1992–) *Azores (1868–1931) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of people on postage stamps」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
