Queen Elizabeth II (Maxicard) 英女皇二世(极限片)

The history of collecting and creating of maximum cards in Malaysia is new. Probably some philatelists came to be acquintance with the hobby of maximaphily only in the 80s as trace of a few maximum cards was noted to be created in the period. Earlier examples were rarely seen, however, this QE II maximum card is noted to have been created by a collector in the 50s who might have some logical understanding of what is maximaphily ? In the 50s, there was NOT even a set of rules of guide to the creation of a perfect maximum card, nevertheless, the MC was perfectly done!
极限集邮在马来西亚的历史尚浅。或许在80年代时期是极限集邮在本土萌芽的时候。就有数枚初期极限片的制作日期是处于80年代时期。更早过80年代的大马极限片,异常罕见。以上就有一枚英女皇极限片,销戳50年代,足以证明早在当时就有有心人懂得制作极限片。50年代还不曾有一套极限规则教导集邮人如何去制作一枚和谐的极限片,会有如此佳片出现,作者真有远见。

Malaysia Costume - Chinese 大马民族服装:华裔 极限片


马来西亚是一个多元种族的国家。华族是三大民族之一。这回邮政发行了一套大马民族服装,选择了把华人的中装旗袍给带上了方寸。有关中衫和旗袍的明信片,还是真难找。去年到太仓出席郑和600周年首航纪念,从入住的花园酒店得来一枚广告明信片,片中刚好有个服务员的穿着是旗袍,且是红彤彤的颜色。和票上的红旗袍倒很和谐,因此采用了这一枚片制作了极限片。
Malaysia is a multi racial country. Chinese is one of the major race. Pos Malaysia Bhd issued a new set of stamp on the traditional costumes of the different races and ZhongSum and QiPao were selected to be featured on the stamp.
Postcards on the theme of Zhong sum and Qipao are NOT easily to be found. I have this postcard which I gathered from the counter of the Garden Hotel @ Taicang, China whilst attending the 600th anniversary of the 1st voyage of ZhengHe (Cheng Ho) in China, and found the card is appropriate for the realisation of a maximum card.
