Aden's Postage Stamps

These two covers are from my personal collection. The old set, prior to the introduction of the Federation stamps, were notable for their portrayal of places of interest in and around Aden and the dhows that were built in Ma'alla and Slave Island. These vessels traded around the the Red Sea, Persian Gulf and as far afield as Zanzibar.
