stamp centenary FDCs

A set of six stamps were issued in 1954 to commemorate the centenary of the Philippine postage stamp.

A modern classic, these stamps (shown here as blocks of four on first day covers) were printed by Thomas de la Rue & Co., Ltd., of London, the first Philippine stamps printed in England.
