This study analyses the Israeli stamp series ‘Landscapes of Israel’ issued between 1971–1980, revealing the series’ geographical pattern, themes and hidden messages. The stamp images and information folders were critically examined within their historical context. The analysis revealed that the spatial distribution of sites also included captured territories, and by this Israel indirectly drew its own borders. Moreover, colour value was used to highlight important topics or create an atmosphere. Furthermore, apart from using the stamps to promote tourism, many of the sites and areas chosen served to promote issues of national pride, connect the Jewish people to the land and illustrate the struggle for Jewish revival and independence.

20 世纪 70 年代“以色列风景”系列邮票中隐藏的信息
本研究分析了 1971 年至 1980 年间发行的以色列邮票系列“以色列景观”,揭示了该系列的地理格局、主题和隐藏信息。邮票图像和信息文件夹在其历史背景下经过严格审查。分析显示,遗址的空间分布还包括占领的领土,以色列由此间接划定了自己的边界。此外,颜色值还用于突出重要主题或营造氛围。此外,除了利用邮票来促进旅游业外,许多选定的地点和地区还旨在促进民族自豪感,将犹太人民与土地联系起来,并展示犹太人复兴和独立的斗争。
