Dogs (set of five) (DPR Korea)

Dogs (set of five) (DPR Korea)

Excuse us while we say more than usual here.  First, this is a set of five unused cards from 1994.  The postmarks are very faint, basically illegible.  Our scan shows four of the five cards; the fifth is of a group of five dogs sitting and looking like they are dozing in the sun.  Four of the five cards are captioned “dog” in Korean and English.  The fifth card–which is the one on the lower right side of the scan–is captioned “Phungsan dog” (풍 산 개) in addition, possibly to compensate for the gory scene taking place.   Phungsan translates as “wind mountain”, and as a side note, the sound for “wind” seems to be the same in Cantonese and Korean.  Enough!  Grade: 1
