Very Scarce 1936 Kenya (British East Africa) Poster Stamp Mombasa Exhibition Gateway Of Kenya Uganda And Northern Tanganyika 19th 20th And 21st August Trade Agriculture Industry Unused No Gum Margin Clip Lower Right SideThis Poster Stamp Was Issued To Promote The Mombasa Exhibition Held On August 19, 20, And 21, 1936, A Major Colonial-Era Trade Fair Highlighting Agriculture, Industry, And Commerce In British East Africa. The Stamp Is Printed In Red And White And Features A Central Illustration Of A Harbor Gate Opening Toward A Maritime Scene, Symbolizing Mombasa As The “Gateway Of Kenya, Uganda, And Northern Tanganyika.” Framed By Bold Ornamental Scrollwork And A Roman Arch, The Stamp Bears The Words “Trade,” “Agriculture,” And “Industry” Along The Top And Sides, Emphasizing The Exhibition’s Economic Focus. Mombasa, As A Key Port City, Served As A Strategic Hub For British Imperial Trade And Transport Across East Africa. The Exhibition Was Likely Intended To Stimulate Commercial Interest In The Region’s Resources And Infrastructure. The Typographic Style And Layout Reflect The Colonial Graphic Conventions Of The 1930s. A Horizontal Black Line Appears To Be A Printing or scanning flaw but does not affect the stamp’s legibility.
