1988 Native Birds Native birds fly on stamps again. The beauty of rare New Zealand birds has featured on many stamps before. But this particular set of eight stamps, to be issued on 2 November, shows a superb new quality, seen earlier with the Shelduck Stamp. Pauline Morse of Pukerua Bay, has depicted the eight birds in their natural habitat - the home garden, the sea shore and native or exotic forests.
Banded Dotterel. (Pohowera.) 10e stamp. This fully protected bird is found on coasts, riverbeds and lake shores. Short and dumpy, with bands of black and brown across the white breast feathers, it breeds inland on sand or shingle laying usually three greyish or greenish eggs marked with dark brown or black spots. Yellowhead. (Mohua.) 20e stamp. These tiny birds are about the size of a sparrow - olive green with a canary yellow head and chest and with a musical 'canary like' call. Living in the South Island, they breed from November to December in natural holes in dead trees laying three or four pinkish white eggs blotched with reddish brown. Silvereye. (Tauhou.) 30e stamp. Also known as waxeye, they are tiny birds with a yellowish olive head and silvery white feathers around the eye. Living in orchards, gardens and forest lowlands, they nest from October to March laying three to four pale blue eggs.
The Brown Kiwi. 40e stamp. The fully protected flightless 'Kiwi' is found in native bush scrubland. Hiding in burrows during the day and moving about at night, they breed from July to February and nest in hollow logs under tree roots and in holes in banks. Kingfisher. (Kotare Kotaretare.) SOe stamp. Haunting the seashores, forest clearings and home gardens, Kingfishers are distinguished by their darting flight and habit of skimming the water. They breed in November, boring holes in trees or banks near the sea, laying a clutch of five white eggs. Spotted Shag. (Parekareka.) 60e stamp. These large slender birds are grey and white with whitish yellow to chrome yellow feet. Adults show ornamental crests and plumes only during the early breeding season when they lay two to four pale blue eggs on ledges and fissures in steep cliffs or in sea caves. Fiordland Crested Penguin. BOe stamp. This fully protected penguin is found in coastal native bush in the South Island. It has a distinguishing yellow stripe above the eye and breeds from July to September laying one or two white eggs in rocks, caves and under tree roots. The South Island Robin. (Toutou wai.) gOe stamp. Found throughout New Zealand in native and exotic forests, they breed from August to February laying two to four cream eggs with purplish brown spots in
nests in tree hollows and rock crevices. The stamps are of a vertical format and measure 25mm x 30mm. They were printed by Leigh-Mardon Pty Lld of Australia using a lithographic process in sheets of 100 (10 rows of 10 stamps) and are on sale indefinitely. Advance orders of the attractively designed First Day Cover can be placed and paid for at most New Zealand Post outlet s from 6 October until 2 November 1988. The Native Bird First Day Cover costs $4.09c
1988 Whales Issue. Rare whales abound on stamps. Whales of the southern oceans are pictured true to life on the 1988 Whales stamp issue, for release on 2 November. Designer Lindy Fisher of Auckland shows an insight into whale behaviour by featuring different activities, such as suckling, hunting, feeding and supporting young. A simple design, with a cool subtle colour scheme enhances Lindy Fisher's realistic illustration of these sea mammals, while the First Day Cover is stylised falling ice in an Antarctic sea scape.
The Humpback whale. (60c.) A baleen whale with long pectoral flippers that feeds on large crustaceans and small schooling fish. They pass New Zealand when they migrate north in winter to breed, and on their return in spring. The young are born alive underwater and are then escorted to the surface to breathe. The Killer whale. (70c.) This infamous whale is a black and white toothed whale growing up to seven metres long. They hunt in groups for penguins and seals, usually in coastal waters. The Southern Right whale. (SOc.) A large baleen whale reaching 15 metres long and 60 tonnes in weight with 300 horny plates up to 2 metres long hung from the upper jaw, instead of teeth.
The plates filter small fish from the sea, which the whale licks from them - "licking its lips".
The Blue whale. (S5c.) This is the largest southern baleen whale and can weigh up to 84 tonnes and grow 24 metres long. It feeds on tiny shrimp-like krill with throat grooves down its body that expand to filter the water it sucks in. The Southern Bottlenose whale. ($1.05.) A toothed whale of the deep ocean with a long beak. Often has visible scars, perhaps from encounters with giant squid. The Sperm whale. ($1.30.) is the largest of all toothed whales, weighing up to 30 tonnes. It lives in family groups, and feeds on giant squid, diving to incredible depths of 1100 metres or so, in search of food. The Ross Dependency is a wedge shaped slice of the Antarctic continent under New Zealand's jurisdiction since 1923. The 1988 Whales stamp issue was printed by the Government Printing Office in Wellington using a lithographic process. There are 100 stamps per sheet, (10 rows of 10 stamps). The stamps are in a horizontal format, measuring 28mm x 40mm. Unless stocks are exhausted earlier, the stamps will remain on sale at Post outlets until 19 January, 1989 and at the Philatelic Bureau for mail orders until 2 November, 1989. The First Day Cover with its
complete set of Whales stamps can be purchased for $5.53c. Advance orders of the First Day Cover can be placed and paid for at most New Zealand Post outlets from 6 October to 2 November 1988.
1989 Flowers Issue. Weeds by any other name? Give someone flowers and watch their face register pleasure. See wild flowers growing in profusion and somehow the colourful scene brightens the day. Flower stamps also give pleasure to collectors world-wide and the set of four featuring wild flowers to be issued on 20 January will be no exception. The subjects which include, "escaped garden" flowers were chosen by designer, Heather Arnold of Takapuna, on Auckland's North Shore. Clover (40c), Lotus (60c), Monbretia (lOc) and Wild Ginger (SOc) all grow prolifically in the warm northern North Island areas.
Clover
Monbretia
Lotus
Wild Ginger
Wild Ginger and Monbretia are "escaped" garden flowers which were probably planted by early settlers to remind them of "home". The seeds were carried by wind, water and animals to places far beyond the original garden and now provide colour along our roadsides and over the countryside.
Clover (40c) was introduced originally to improve our pasture. Various strains of clover have since been bred. Today the clover flower contributes largely to our honey production - a complete circle story as some clovers did not flourish until bees were imported to fertilise them. Lotus (Lotus species) (60e) is the birdsfoot trefoil of Europe. The gold flowering plant can be planted
in pasture, but mainly runs wild. It prefers a moist climate but is also found in our high country areas.
Monbretia (Crocosmia x Crocosmiiflora) (70c) is an "escaped" garden flower. Originally from Southern Africa, it is seen on the roadsides in the warmer damp districts of New Zealand. It grows
from bulbs and flourishes very well in Northland and Westland.
Wild Ginger (Hedychium species) (SOc) was introduced from the Himalayas and India. There are two varieties, Hedychium gardnerianum with a yellow tinted flower, and Hedychium flavescens with a pale creamy flower.
Wild flowers a first for Heather. Auckland artist, Heather Arnold is a newcomer to stamp design and Wild Flowers is her first foray into the world of stamps. Heather attributes her success in winning this first stamp commission to a pencil drawing of a rose, drawn as part of her entrance folio for the Graphic Design course at the Auckland Technical Institute. That drawing was included in the portfolio of work she submitted to the Stamp Design Council. Two mediums were chosen to produce the wild flowers issue Gouache, (an opaque water colour) and water colour. For the First Day Cover illustration Heather used colour pencil - a medium she had not used before and which she found exciting. The wild flowers depicted on the stamps all grow in the Auckland area near Heather's home. She says that South Island flowers were considered but the only reference material that she had available was photographs in books and those did not provide enough detail to work from. By choosing wild flowers that grow prolifically in the north she was able to pick them, take them home and work from the living plant. Heather says she has not done much colour illustration work so she was pleased to do the stamp issue. This gave her an opportunity to work with different colour mediums.
Heather left Westlake Girls High after the seventh form year. She joined the Post Office as a clerk in the Regional Engineer's office, but had always wanted to work in graphic design. After gaining qualifications in graphic design at the Auckland Technical Institute, Heather worked in two art studios and a printing company's art department. At the beginning of this year Heather and a friend were offered
the opportunity of starting up a partnership in graphic design. They formed The Design Company in East Tamaki and specialise in the areas of corporate image and design. Another of Heather's interests is puppetry. She has been associated with the New Zealand Puppet Theatre from its inception and would like to spend more time in the future on her puppets.
1989 Writers Issue. New Zealand writers finally grace our letters. For the first time, this country's men and women of letters are recognised on New Zealand stamps. We've had many requests to commemorate authors and the most nominated have been chosen for their contribution to our life, history and literature. Wellington artist Allan Mitchell has painted true reflective portraits of Katherine Mansfield, James K. Baxter, Bruce Mason and Ngaio Marsh for this stamp issue - to be released on 1 March, 1989.
sUffering a coughing fit and haemorrhaging on January 9, 1922.
"I must be an authoress"Katherine Mansfield. (40c stamp.) Our most famous authoress was born on 14 October, 1888, the daughter of Sir Harold Beauchamp, a director of the Bank of New Zealand. Katherine Mansfield was her pseudonym but she was known as Kathleen Murry. Most of her happy childhood memories centre around holidays at Days Bay, Wellington, though she finished her education in London. While studying the cello' in London, she impulsively married her music master, only to leave the day after the wedding having decided "I must be an authoress". In 1918 she married George Middleton Murry, the same year she was diagnosed as having tuberculosis. She spent the following five years searching for advice for a cure and perhaps as a reaction to her illness, produced her most fruitful and creative writing including; "The Dolls House", "At the Bay" and the "Garden Party". She finally died at the Gurdjieff Institute in Paris after
"On Calvary Street are trellises INhere bright as blood the roses bloom, And gnomes like pagan fetishes Hang their hats on an empty tomb INhere two old souls go slowly mad, National Mum and Labour Dad ... " - James K. Baxter. (60c stamp.) James Keir Baxter was born at Brighton, Otago, on 29 June, 1926 and wrote prolifically from the age of seven, right up until his death at 46 years. His father was a leading conscientious objector during World War I and James K. followed in his footsteps by standing up for his beliefs. With a critical eye on society in his works, his heroes and heroines were on society's fringes drunks, prostitutes and good hearted derelicts. Baxter marrried Jacqueline Sturm in 1948 and they had two children.
He also worked as a postie, mail sorter and freezing worker to support his family. With plays produced from New York to Dunedin, his poetry won him critical acclaim, awards, scholarships as well as sparking controversy notably "Lament for Barney Flanagan", "Pig Island Letters", "The Rock Woman", and "The Flowering Cross." Baxter became known as "Hemi", the bearded, bare footed, wise man who lived in poverty in a remote Maori settlement called Jerusalem, on the Wanganui river. "But Yin and Yang won't ever meet, In Calvary Street, in Calvary Street." Eight hundred people mourned him at his burial in 'Jerusalem' when he died in October 1972.
Bruce Mason was born in Wellington in 1921, and served with the Naval Volunteer Reserve before he married Or Diana Shaw in 1945. Mason sought to express New Zealand's distinctive identity in his works. In 1953 he won the British Drama League Festival with his first play, 'The Bonds of Love'. In 1957, his famous play, "The Pohutukawa Tree" was produced for the first time, while he worked as a critic, journalist and drama critic. In 1959, Mason first presented the dramatic solo performance for which he is best known and loved "The End of the Golden Weather", with its theme of childhood's end. He managed nearly 1000 performances before he died of cancer in 1981 - not before he was honoured with a doctorate in literature and a CBE.
(So says novelist Ngaio Marsh's fictitious detective Chief Inspector Roderick Alleyn.) An only child, Edith Ngaio Marsh was born at Christchurch in 1899, and educated at St Margarel's College and Canterbury University School of Art. For two years she worked in New Zealand and London theatre cementing a life-long love of Shakespeare's plays. Her first novel was published in 1933, and she went on to produce 30 detective novels up until the year of her death. She served in the New Zealand Red Cross Transport during the second Worid War. Between 1938-1949 she returned to the theatre, producing a number of Shakespeare's plays. She returned to Christchurch to live, write, paint, lecture and produce plays. Dame Ngaio Marsh was awarded an OBE in 1948, and an honourary doctorate in literature in 1963. She died in 1982, aged 83 with her next novel on the drawing board.

"I invite you to join me in a voyage into the past, to that territory of the past we call childhood. Consider, if you will, Te Parenga ... " - Bruce Mason. (70c stamp.)
"Murder is beastly. Unfortunately it's not unreal." - Ngaio Marsh. (BOc stamp.)
