Description
This stamp illustrates the ambition to modernize national infrastructures through the theme of “electronics at the service of Tunisian Posts”. Hatem El Mekki's illustration, with resolutely avant-garde graphics, features a hybrid anthropomorphic figure, between human and machine, symbolizing the alliance of intelligence and emerging automation. The patterns of perforated strips and geometric lines of force evoke the speed of data processing and the new efficiency of postal sorting, transforming public service into a vector of technological progress. In the context of the 1960s, this program reflects the desire of the young Republic to equip itself with modern and efficient institutions, capable of supporting the economic development of the country. The message conveyed is that of a Tunisia looking to the future, where technical innovation becomes a pillar of sovereignty and the influence of its sovereign services.
