ROTARY INTERNATIONAL
(SG n/a)

 

A truly horrid stamp with an eagle on a metallic background surrounded by a chaotic minisheet illustrated with stampeeding wildebeest, cuddly chimps and an epic battle between two crocodiles and a rhino, whereby the rhino appears to have tossed one of the crocodiles into the air, the blood spilling from its side where the horn gored it, surely an image more at home is a comic than on a stamp and completely without any relevance to such as august organisation as Rotary International.
