3D - Anaglyph Stamps

Category - Sight
Subcategory - 3D Anaglyph Stamps

An anaglyph is a stereo image that requires glasses with red lens and green (blue) for three-dimensional visualization. The two stereo images are printed one above the other, in offset. To the naked eye, the image appears on top, doubled and blurry. Traditionally, the image for the left eye is printed in red ink and the image of the right eye is printed in green ink or blue.

South Africa 2009  3D Dinosaurs Anaglyph Stamp Set










Issue date 02 November 2009

On November 2, 2009, South Africa came out with a set of ten dinosaur stamps with a 3D effect using anaglyphs. The South African Post website says that "an anaglyph is a stereo image that requires special glasses with red and green (or blue) lenses for 3D viewing. To achieve the effect, two views of a picture are printed in two colours, usually red for the left eye and blue or green for the right eye."

They called the stamps as 3D Dinosaur Stamps: Where Pre-history Meets Modern Technology.
