New Zealand Pictorials
About New Zealand Pictorials
A definitive series featuring scenic views of New Zealand including Mount Cook, Lake Taupo, and the Milford Sound. The 1898 Pictorial issue was one of the first stamp series to feature landscape photography. New Zealand pioneered the pictorial approach to definitive stamps. The tradition continued with later pictorial series in 1935, 1960, and beyond. New Zealand pictorial stamps are collected for their scenic beauty and documentation of the landscape.
