Title A name given to the resource International Labour Organization (ILO), Emblem 50th Anniversary of the International Labour Organization (ILO), Republic of Cyprus Subject The topic of the resource Postage stamps--Cyprus--History Γραμματόσημα--Κύπρος--Ιστορία Description An account of the resource Created in 1919, the International Labour Organization (ILO) is the only surviving major creation of the Treaty of Versailles, which brought into being the League of Nations. In 1946 the ILO became the first specialized agency of the United Nations. The Labour Commission, which wrote the ILO constitution in 1919, was composed of representatives from nine countries namely: Belgium, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, France, Italy, Japan, Poland, The United Kingdom, and the United States. The very beginning of the Constitution reads: ""Universal and lasting peace can be established only if it is based upon social justice"". The ILO formulates international labour standards in the form of Conventions and Recommendations setting minimum standards of basic labour rights such as: freedom of associations, the right to organize, collective bargaining, abolition of forced labour, equality of treatment and opportunity and standards covering all work related issues. The ILO also provides technical assistance in the fields of: Vocational training and rehabilitation, employment policy, labour law and industrial relations, occupational safety and health, social security, employment policies and other administrative related matters. Furthermore the ILO is the only organization that brings together representatives of governments, employers and workers in its executive bodies. In 1948 the Organization took on its universal character and in 1960 it created the International Institute for Labour Studies at its Geneva headquarters. In 1965 the International Training Centre opened in Turin. In 1969, David Morse, head of the ILO accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of the Organization. For the period 1999-2002, Cyprus was deputy member of the Governing Council. Today the ILO has 177 member countries.

Title A name given to the resource Kolossi Castle, Pictorial Definitive Issue of King George VI (4 piastres), Republic of Cyprus Subject The topic of the resource airmail stamps philately postage stamps antiquities (object genre) castles (fortifications) coastal fortifications forts monuments fortifications castle historic building Description An account of the resource Kolossi castle is a medieval castle built in the 15th century A.D. It is also known as Koulas. The donjon lies in the vicinity of the village of the same name in the south-western outskirts of Limassol. The plain on which the castle is located is one of the agriculturally richest regions of the island from which the renowned Commandaria comes from. The order of Saint John, the owners of the castle, initiated the production of the wine which reached even north-European royal courts. The castle constitutes one of the most important building works of the Frankish period (A.D. 1191-1489). Its services were multi-faceted throughout the centuries including being: the main residence of the Grand Commander and the administrative centre of the Order; the estates’ nucleus for the production of sugar and other products of the region; the domination symbol of the Hospitallers; a storage house; water features; and viewpoints. Before the erection of the current castle, a quadrangular curtain wall with supporting rooms on the west side, related to the refinement of sugar, must occupied the area. However, the keep which one can see today was built in the 1450s by Louis de Magnac, the General Commander of the Hospitallers in Cyprus. The fortress is an enormous square, well-built, three-story edifice, built from local limestone ashlar blocks. The castle is one of the most photographed monuments, adorning postcards, postage stamps, gravures and other media. Today the castle is open to the public to visit as a sightseeing. Το κάστρο Κολοσσίου είναι Μεσαιωνικό φρούριο το οποίο χρονολογείται στον 15ο αιώνα μ.Χ. και οικοδομήθηκε με χορηγία του Louis de Magnac, Μεγάλου Μαγίστρου του Τάγματος των Ιωαννιτών Ιπποτών. Το φρούριο ονομάζεται και Κούλας και βρίσκεται σε μια από τις πιο εύφορες πεδιάδες του νησιού, στα νοτιο-δυτικά της πόλης της Λεμεσού στην οποία έδρευε η Commanderie – Ανώτατη Στρατιωτική Διοίκηση - των Ιωαννιτών Ιπποτών, από την οποία εξέλαβε και το όνομά του το περίφημο κρασί Κουμανταρία. Το κάστρο αποτελεί ένα από τα πιο σημαντικά οικοδομήματα της Φραγκικής περιόδου (A.D. 1191-1489) και κατά τη διάρκεια των αιώνων είχε αρκετές και διαφορετικές χρήσεις όπως η κύρια κατοικία του Μεγάλου Μαγίστρου και το διοικητικό κέντρο του Τάγματος, κέντρο παραγωγής ζάχαρης και άλλων προϊόντων της περιοχής, σύμβολο κυριαρχίας των Ιωαννιτών Ιπποτών, αποθηκευτικοί χώροι, δεξαμενές νερού και παρατηρητήριο. Το κάστρο αποτελεί ένα απο τα πιο πολυφωτογραφημένα μνημεία του νησιού, διακοσμώντας καρτ-ποστάλ, γραμματόσημα, γκραβούρες και άλλα μέσα. Σήμερα το κάστρο είναι ανοικτό προς επίσκεψη από το κοινό.

Title A name given to the resource Map of Cyprus, 1st International Congress of Cypriot Studies, Republic of Cyprus Subject The topic of the resource Postage stamps--Cyprus--History Γραμματόσημα--Κύπρος--Ιστορία Description An account of the resource The earliest maps of Cyprus were in manuscript form and belong to the Lusignan and Venetian periods in the history of the island. One very rare map from this period depicts the walls of Nicosia during Lusignan rule. Although the first printed map of the island appeared in 1480 A.D. it was not until the 16th century that printed maps of Cyprus began to circulate. In 1570 Abraham Ortelius (1527-1598) published his atlas entitled ""Theatrum Orbis Terranum"" (Theatre of the World) in which over the years he published three maps of Cyprus dated, 1573, 1590 and 1598. The map on the 50 mils stamp is from the atlas of Willem Janszoon Blaue (1571-1616) who apart from being a globe maker and a mapmaker, was also a specialist in maritime cartography. This map of his is based on the 1573 map of Abraham Ortelius but with some corrections. In the top center the Lusignan coat-of-arms is depicted and in the top left corner that of the Ottoman Empire. In the lower right corner Venus is reclining on a shell led by two swans towards Paphos while Eros tries to pierce her with his arrow. The map was printed in Amsterdam in 1635 from a copper engraving.(Extract from: Sweet Land of Cyprus, The European Cartography of Cyprus 15th-19th century) The Body of Cypriot Studies, acknowledging the importance of the popular theatre of Karaghiozis, which for many generations transmitted concurrently ideas and approaches to life, collected many of his figurines for the Popular Museum of Arts where they are preserved as part of the traditional culture of Cyprus. The relevant collection of the Museum includes figurines made by Christodoulos Pafios and Nicos Ioannou.

The full painting shows the two couples kneeling on either side of a long dedicatory inscription which informs us that the church was built in 1455 A.D. by Constantine the Chief priest, while the paintings were done by a Philip Goul in 1495.
