A meaningful two-stamp set issued by Israel in 1983, illustrating national settlement planning through stylized topographic landscapes.
The 8.00 ₪ “Settling the Golan” stamp features a terraced mountain terrain with clustered red-roof dwellings, conifers, rocky outcrops, and a water reservoir.
The 20.00 ₪ “Settling Yehuda and Shomron” stamp depicts hilly agricultural land, arranged housing units, groves, and early infrastructure blocks.
Designed by D. Ben-David, the set is notable for its minimalist geomapping aesthetic and strong thematic appeal in regional development, geography, and modern Israeli history.
An excellent addition for collectors of Israel, Middle East studies, mapping art, and settlement-themed issues.
