I don't know how much more information you are going to get than the excerpt from Robson Lowe's "Encyclopeadia .."
I think it gives the whole story, as known.

I'm not sure if some "philately purists" would get pedantic about this, but personally I find Cinderellas like this - and their stories - to be very interesting.
Hope we see more, with the background info.

I have the larger denomination, can't remember where I got it, but didn't pay an awful lot! As the article says the two lower denomination stamps don't seem to be real common and I have no idea what you should charge unless you just go with E-Bay's completed items. Good luck! As always John, your Canadian items are top notch!

I agree! Cinderellas and government-issued postage stamps have much in common despite their differences. I have always seen most definitive, pictorial, and commemorative postage stamps as propagandistic. I looked up the definition of propaganda to make sure I was using the word correctly. I was!:
Propaganda means, "information, ideas, opinions, or images, often only giving one part of an argument, that are broadcast, published, or in some other way spread with the intention of influencing people's opinions".
That's exactly what a great many cinderellas do — they try to convince buyers that the viewpoint being presented is the correct viewpoint.
Issue a stamp or a cinderella picturing a leader, and the assumption that that leader is worthy of admiration and his or her big paycheques. Therefore, a stamp picturing Stalin is supposed to be seen as honouring a great, honourable man. That viewpoint is not universally held, of course — Stalin was one of the world's epic mass murderers and crazy as a loon. (No, actually, loons aren't crazy!)
I appreciate cinderellas for the topics they address that often are not addressed by postage stamps. Here's an example from my collection; before seeing it, I was not aware that India had had a hospital ship that was used in the First World Wars, much less the Second World War. I included the cinderella in one of my exhibits — "Compassion in Times of War" (about military medicine):
Madras served as a hospital ship and ambulance transport service throughout the First World War and most of the Second World War. She was torpedoed and sunk by a German U-boat on July 15, 1944, off Mangalor, on India's west coast, on a voyage from Melbourne to Bombay via Colombo.

John just listed the set of three on HipStamp and they now belong to me, great set of stamps for my Newfoundland collection!! It means I have the last one, the map, twice. If anyone is interested let me know and I'll send it off when his order arrives. No charge, just give it a good home. (GONE, IT WILL HAVE A GOOD HOME)

I picked up these three stamps in a small collection. This is the info behind them. I have the three stamps pictured. Can't seem to find much of anything about them. Any info would be appreciated.
