Since
it began issuing stamps in 1926, Tuva,
in the heart of Asia, has frequently
been in
the center of controversy over its postal service.
In
the 1930s, Tannu Tuva pioneered the issuing
of attractive topicals, and was severely criticised for it by many. Since 1994,
more stamps bearing Tuva's name have appeared.
Despite
the problems, many philatelists enjoy a fascination with Tuva.

The
beautiful 18 kopeck pictorial of 1927 showed that interesting shapes were all
on for Tuva's stamps. The country has since issued
many triangulars.
Hand-carved
woodblocks were used to create the 1927 surcharges on the first issue.
Between
1934 and 1936, many ornate and attractive stamps were issued. This one is from
the 1936 Jubilee series.
