Traditional Architecture in Romanian Philately (VI): the Case Study Regarding Households from Stănești, Straja, Șuici, Șurdești and Tilișca

Abstract

In addition to the series dedicated to traditional architecture, through this study aims to present the way in which the households from Stănești, Straja, Șuici, Șurdești and Tilișca are represented at philatelic level. In this approach, stamps, semi-illustrated and illustrated postcards, maximum postcards and other philatelic effects were used. All this was identified, indexed, analyzed, and described in terms of information provided by philatelic catalogs and sites with dedicated content (such as Colnect®, Delcampe®, PicClick®, and StampWorld®). Following the analysis of the identified pieces, it can be concluded that the respective areas (Stănești, Straja, Șuici, Șurdești and Tilișca) are well delimited from a philatelic point of view, both the exterior and the interior are very carefully represented.
