Commemorative Stamps

45 commemorative stamps, depicting different regions & patterns styles were printed by PLAST about 50 years ago. Zenon ELYJIV, the artist from Rochester New York, drew up the whole scheme of the Easter Egg stamps and Stepan GELA, from Toronto, funded the project about 1960.

Zenon ELEYJIV published a very nice book, "60 Scores of Easter Eggs," where some 720 different Ukrainian Easter Egg patterns are presented. The book has no ISBN number. https://www.amazon.com
