Liechtenstein 2021 Pen International Stamp with Scratch off Printing
Issue date 07 June 2021
PEN International was founded after the First World War to promote peace and international understanding, with special emphasis on connecting world's best-known association of writers,. The association campaign to uphold and enforce the right to freedom of expression and takes a public stand against repression, censorship, imprisonment and assassination of writers and publicists.
Liechtenstein to commemorate the centenary of the founding of PEN International has issued 3 special stamps with scratch off printing in black - with special quotes from "Friedrich Schiller" (face value: CHF 1.00), "Emily Dickinson" (face value: CHF 1.50) and "Johann Wolfgang von Goethe" (face value: CHF 3.80) with certain words being blacked out.
The purpose of this blackout of certain words in the quotes to draw attention to the distorting and manipulative effect created by omitting information from texts. This becomes clear as soon as the blacked-out words on the stamp are scratched off, revealing the full quotes.
