These United Nations stamps, depicting the headquarters in New York, were postmarked on October 30, 1958. The UN first issued their own stamps in 1952. The stamps and postmarks are only available in the official United Nations office in New York, Geneva, and Vienna.
The building is so much prettier than the stamps can show, though there is a certain classic charm to the monotone image.

I like the stamps and the photo in different ways. Both beautiful1
The building looks a bit out of place on the stamp!
at first glance I thought the stamp was UNICEF related...don't know why though...it would be cool to have the chance one day to mail cards from any of the UN points in the world :)
It still surprises me to read that the UN issues its own stamps. I don't know why. thank you for being here this week!
I really like "classic charm" on stamps.
The stamp has enhanced the building.
