Title A name given to the resource Famous 18th Century, Composers, Commemorative Issue Subject The topic of the resource Γραμματόσημα--Κύπρος--Ιστορία Postage stamps--Cyprus--History Description An account of the resource Ludwig van Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany, in 1770. He was of Flemish descent. His father and grandfather were court singers to the elector Archbishop of Bonn. No one doubts that he was one of the greatest composers of western classical music. Around the age of 14 he travelled to Vienna where he met Mozart and Hayden with whom he studied. He composed brilliant and significant piano works and produced a series of masterpieces such as his Symphony No 3 Εroica originally dedicated to NapoleonBonaparte. He wrote nine symphonies and his 9th of 1824 erupts with the final movement’s “Ode to Joy” featuring a full choir and soloists and which is now used by the bureaucracy of the European Union to solicit enthusiasm for its existence. As early as 1796 Beethoven had noticed the first signs of deafness and by 1817 he was completely deaf. Inspite of his disability he composed some of the most sublime works ever created. In 1824 when Beethoven oversaw the first performance of his 9th Symphony, the soloists in the orchestra had to point out to him that the audience was applauding. He turned to see the silent applause just as he could not hear his own work being performed to such admiration. Beethoven died in 1827 having created timeless musical works.

Title A name given to the resource Viticulture Cyprus-Romania, Commemorative Joint Issue Subject The topic of the resource Γραμματόσημα--Κύπρος--Ιστορία Postage stamps--Cyprus--History Description An account of the resource Τhe wild vine, Vitis vinifera silvestri, from which the cultivated vine of the old world is derived has been established in Armenia as in the Balkans and parts of Western Europe since Tertiary times; that is to say over a million years ago. The Book of Genesis (IX.18-29) records that one of Noah’s first actions after alighting from the Ark on Mount Ararat was to plant a vine. (Professor Lang, Armenia Cradle of Civilization p.67). The earliest evidence of wine making has been found in the Zagros mountains in Iran dating from 4500 BC (Scientific American Sept.2013). On 2nd January 1473, Queen Caterina Cornaro appointed Peter Davila as Constable of Cyprus and gave him among other things the Armenian vineyard in Agios Dometios.(Dawkins, The chronicles of George Boustronios 1456-1489). In Greek mythology the poets say that Dionysos gave man the vine and its fruit, the grape, so that he was also the spirit of drunkenness.

Title A name given to the resource Cyprus Through the Ages, Historical Issue Subject The topic of the resource Γραμματόσημα--Κύπρος--Ιστορία Postage stamps--Cyprus--History Description An account of the resource Cyprus came under Ottoman rule in 1571 and by the Anglo-Turkish Convention of 4th June 1878, the island was handed over by the Porte to be administered by Great Britain who in return had to pay a “Tribute” specified as rent to the Sultan. The Convention was a defensive alliance guaranteeing the Asiatic possessions of the Sultan against any Russian advance. The Convention was annulled when Turkey entered the 1st World War on 5th November 1914 resulting in the annexation of Cyprus by Britain. Final detachment from Turkey came with the Treaty of Sevres (10th August 1920, articles115,116 &117) and the subsequent Treaty of Lausanne (24th July 1923, articles 16, 20 & 21) when Kemal Ataturk finally acknowledged British rule. On 1st May 1925 Britain declared Cyprus a Crown Colony and the office of High Commissioner was replaced by that of a Governor. The first Governor was Sir Malcolm Stevenson. In 1927 Cyprus was relieved of the “Tribute” which in fact was never paid. The Peace Treaty did not in fact stifle the basic demand of the Greek population for union with Greece. A Greek Cypriot National Assembly was founded in 1921 to promote non-cooperation with the Government. When the Government attempted to impose an unpopular tax law, that, was the last straw that ignited violent demonstrations in all the towns that culminated in the burning down of Government House, the British Governor’s residence in Lefkosia, on 31st October 1931, as depicted on the 2nd stamp in the 1st row. The 3rd stamp in the first row depicts the Imprisoned Graves of EOKA fighters in the cemetery located in the Central Prisons in Lefkosia. Thirteen fighters are buried there. Nine of them were executed by hanging while the other four had died heroically and were buried alongside the others. Albert Camus, French literature Nobel Prize Winner had written to Queen Elizabeth II to spare the life of young EOKA fighter Michalakis Karaolis who now lies in this cemetery, but this was not heeded. The valuable manuscript is in the EOKA Liberation Struggle Museum in Lefkosia. The 4th stamp in the first row depicts the Statue of Gregoris Afxenthiou, a guerrilla lieutenant during the EOKA uprising of 1955-59. When recovering from an operation he had stayed at Machairas monastery disguised as a monk. On 3rd March 1957, having been betrayed, he was trapped in his hideout in the hills around the monastery. He chose to die honourably rather than surrender. He lies in one of the Imprisoned Graves. The 1st stamp in the second row depicts the Presidential Palace that was built in the grounds of Government House that was burnt down in 1931. It remained the residence of the British Governor until 1960 when it became the official base of the Government of the Republic of Cyprus. The detailing of the stonework was carried out by Cypriot stone carvers and the cloisters and arcades are copied from Byzantine or Frankish examples of ancient buildings. The main entrance features the carved British Coat-of Arms, a remnant of British rule 1878-1960. The 2nd stamp depicts the painting by Telemachos Kanthos entitled “The Black Summer” and which depicts refugees fleeing the Turkish invasion of 1974 that left some 200,000 people homeless and destitute. 37% of the land has been under Turkish occupation to this day. After years of negotiations with the European Union, Cyprus, on 1st May 2004 officially acceded as a full member. The third stamp depicts the President of Cyprus Tassos Papadopoulos signing the Treaty of Accession on 16th April 2003 at the Stoa Attalos in Athens. The fourth stamp features the flag of the Independent Republic of Cyprus in orange on a white background where the orange colour symbolizes the rich copper deposits from ancient times and the olive branches symbolizing peace. 2010 marks the 50th anniversary of Cyprus’ independence.

Title A name given to the resource Visit of Pope Benedict XVI, to Cyprus, Commemorative Issue Subject The topic of the resource Γραμματόσημα--Κύπρος--Ιστορία Postage stamps--Cyprus--History Description An account of the resource For the first time in 2000 years, a Pope comes to Cyprus on a pilgrimage in the footsteps of Apostles Paul, Barnabas and Mark to visit Pafos where in 45 AD they converted the Roman Proconsul Sergius Paulus to Christianity. The Pope, Bishop of Rome, as head of the Vatican City, the world’s smallest sovereign country, reigns as the proclaimed Vicar of Christ successor to Apostle Peter. He is the leader of more than 1.2 billion Roman Catholics. His reign of eight years was marred by scandals and internal upheavals leading him to become the first Pope in 600 years to resign. In 2011 and 2012 Benedict defrocked 400 priests for child abuses. In 1939 extensive excavations ordered by Pope Pius XII led archaeologists to confirm that Emperor Constantine had built the first St. Peters Basilica on top of a necropolis. A hundred feet away from beneath the High Altar they found a 2nd century AD shrine built by the early Christians on a site where they believed St. Peter was buried. In 1968 Pope Paul VI stated that there were convincing reasons to believe that the set of bones found nearby were the Apostle’s remains. However not everyone agrees.

Title A name given to the resource Τhe Cyprus Railway, Commemorative Issue Subject The topic of the resource Γραμματόσημα--Κύπρος--Ιστορία Postage stamps--Cyprus--History Description An account of the resource When Britain took over the administration of Cyprus from the Ottomans in 1878 it soon became clear to them that adequate road and communication systems were lacking. However, it was not until 1904 that a small six wheeled tank locomotive was imported from Leeds, England, and wagons from Egypt. In 1905 they began construction of a railway of 2 feet & 6 inches gauge that would run from Famagusta harbour through Lefkosia to Morfou and Evrychou. The line was extended several times and finally covered a distance of 76 miles. An extension of the line to Larnaka was turned down by the town’s mayor on the grounds that camel drivers would lose their means of living. On 21st October 1905 the train made its maiden voyage from Ammochostos to Lefkosia. In its heyday there were about 30 intermediate stations connected by telephone and telegraph while some were also acting as postal agencies each with its own postal cancellation. Passengers, goods, animals and minerals were transported along the route.

Title A name given to the resource Εuropa Children’s Books, Commemorative Issue Subject The topic of the resource Γραμματόσημα--Κύπρος--Ιστορία Postage stamps--Cyprus--History Description An account of the resource From immemorial times every culture has had its mythology, unique fables and traditional stories which can be traced to oral traditions handed down through generations. Oral stories enjoyed by children include the tale of the “Asunik Tree” from Persia (Iran) dating back to 3000 years. In imperial China storytellers entertained children and their parents at public events. Greek and Roman children enjoyed listening to Homer’s Odyssey and Aesop’s fables. Early children’s books consisted of spoken stories, songs and poems that were used to educate and entertain them. The stories conveyed moral and religious concepts while kindling their imagination. The power of storytelling was potently demonstrated when the “Arabian Nights” was compiled in the 15th century, and with the advent of printing, children’s books became possible. The first children’s book “The Child’s Mirror” was published by Niels Bredalin in 1568. In 1634 the “Pentamerone” from Italy became the first major published collection of European folk tales. Many are the famous writers of Children’s literature among whom are Rudyard Kipling (Just so Stories), Hans Christian Anderson who in the 19th century travelled through Europe and collected many well-known fairy tales, and the Brothers Grimm who preserved the traditional tales told in Germany. Aesop, the legendary Greek Fabulist (6th Century BC) had his stories popularized by the Roman poet Phaedrus in the 1st century AD and in 1668 La Fontaine re-wrote the tales in sophisticated verse.(The Cambridge Biographical Encyclopedia p.10). The collection of Aesop’s fables which number more than 300, is the oldest in the world. The late 19th and early 20th centuries became known as the golden age of Children’s books many of which are acknowledged as classics today. The characters in the story of “Winnie the Pooh” have become symbols of childhood innocence.
