Book's First Pageareas like painting, literature, science, music, social upliftment, etc., have also been portrayed on commemorative stamps. In keeping with their dual character as a ‘Token of Postage’ and as ‘Cultural Ambassador’, there are two categories of stamps viz., definitive and commemorative postage stamps.
