Dubai 33

      The stamp issued in 1964 by Dubai features a representation of The Unisphere, a 12-story tall representation of the earth as a symbol of “Peace Through Understanding” for the New York World’s Fair of 1964.
     Behind the Unisphere is a view of Manhattan Island on the left, and Dubai on the right. The continents rest on a network of meridians and parallels, and the three rings that circle the sphere represent the orbits of Yuri Gagarin, the first human in space, John Glenn, the first American to orbit the earth, and Telstar, the first active communications satellite.
     The stamp is one of a set of six regular postal stamps, 3 airmail stamps, and a souvenir sheet with two stamps.
