Cameroun's Telstar Issue of 1963

Cameroun is located on the west coast of Africa.

Stamps have always been associated with communication. It is thus fitting that this issue commemorates the first live television broadcast from North America to Europe. We have two stamps from a set of 4 issued in 1963. These stamps are nice engraved stamps from the Cameroun tradition.
