Number of arachnid related stamps in issue: 1/22
+0/8 (tax stamps)
This is the oldest arachnid stamp that I know of (although the oldest arachnid related stamp is the 1960 Romania spider web with moth stamp). A splendid series with beautiful artwork typical of older stamps. It is not so easy to find this complete series.
