"In Japan, the first stamps to carry a peace theme were issued in 1919 (the 8th year of the Taisho era). Doves and olive branches were featured in both of the designs issued to celebrate the end of World War I. We were impressed by the fact that these stamps were issued not to celebrate victory but the end of the war. According to the Postal Museum in Tokyo, it was very rare for a dove to be used as a peace symbol at that time. Overseas, the only case of a "peace dove" in connection with World War I appears to be a stamp issued in the former Czechoslovakia in 1918." </table><table border=2> <TR><TD><center><a href=""> <img src="http://image.evene.fr/img/boutique/produits/867_3716.jpg" width="120" height="120"></a></center></td><td><img src="http://www.flags.net/images/largeflags/FRAN0001.GIF" width="30" height="20"> <b>January 1949</b> - <a href="http://www.evene.fr/boutique/bon-cadeau.php?idp=867">Colombe à l'olivier</i>"</a> (aka Carré Picasso), Paris (France).
