1992 Landscapes Booklet

1992 saw a change in New Zealand stamps when NZ Post began issuing themed definitive booklets. This is the first issue where ten different stamps combine to create one complete picture of a theme.
This booklet stamp issue of 10, 45 cent stamps depicts a scenic panorama reflecting the beauty of New Zealand's countryside. It is designed to incorporate many different types of New Zealand scenery. Each stamp shows a specific self-contained landscape but is also part of one total integrated theme.



This striking design and its vibrant colours symbolise the sea, land and sky, and conjure up the clean, green unspoilt image of New Zealand. Everything is here: the giant pohutukawa, coastal vegetation, beach, river, cultivated land, barren hills, rocky shoreline, fiord, steep mountain faces, deep water, alpine mountains, glacier, rocks, boulders and native bush.

                          
45c - Pohutukawa tree & hills.                                    45c - Golden hills & river scene.

                         
45c - Tussock & Mountains.                                          45c - Mountain & Glacier.
