An Post Issue Marks 200th Anniversary of Mapping Activities in Ireland

On June, 20, 2024 An Post (Ireland Post) released a new issue marking the First Ordnance Survey of Ireland in 1824. The single design, ‘N’ denomination (“national stamps” – currently valued at €1.35) issue is based on an 1836 map and features a small village area from Athboy Parish, in County Meath (northwest of Dublin).  The horizontal format depicts crisp line work and detail common on maps from that time. Labeled roads, buildings, churches, trees and other features are visible on the colorful stamp.
