POET LAUREATE RABINDRANATH TAGORE IN STAMPS

Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) is the best known Bangali in the world.
In the philatelic world he is still an endless curio. Bangladesh honoured him by issuing a stamp with his late-age portrait in an elliptical frame and the picturesque view of Shelidah Kuthibari(estate house) situated on a little land enclave on the river Padma about 15 km south-west of Pabna, 1991.

Bangladesh Postal Authority commited a could be avoidable mistake by splitting his name as "Rabindra Nath", a style which Tagore self abhored. Please note also the spelling of the word "salient", in the FDC information brochure.
