Abstract
This study analyses the Israeli stamp series ‘Landscapes of Israel’ issued between 1971–1980, revealing the series’ geographical pattern, themes and hidden messages. The stamp images and information folders were critically examined within their historical context. The analysis revealed that the spatial distribution of sites also included captured territories, and by this Israel indirectly drew its own borders. Moreover, colour value was used to highlight important topics or create an atmosphere. Furthermore, apart from using the stamps to promote tourism, many of the sites and areas chosen served to promote issues of national pride, connect the Jewish people to the land and illustrate the struggle for Jewish revival and independence.
