Issued in 1958 by Egypt under the United Arab Republic (UAR), this commemorative set marks the 10th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948–1958). The stamps feature the United Nations emblem, the Torch of Freedom, and a portrait of Eleanor Roosevelt, a central figure in drafting the Declaration.
This presentation is especially attractive to collectors as it includes both the regular UAR issues and the scarce “PALESTINE” overprints, reflecting mid-20th-century political and postal history of the Middle East. The combination of UN theme, human rights significance, and regional overprint varieties makes this a desirable thematic and geopolitical set for advanced collections.
