GHANA, Public Telephone Box Postage Stamps, 1990


On the 24th October 1988, International Direct Dialling (IDD) was introduced in Ghana, West Africa. Two years later, the Ghana Postal Service issued a four stamp set dedicated to its telephone service. Two of these depicted Ghanaians using a public telephone. 

The lower denomination issue shows a man inserting a telephone card into a pay phone. For the 200 Cedi stamp, three women are congregating around two public telephone boxes.

I've not been able to identify the illustrator of these stamps, so any further information will be much appreciated.
