Information:
The definitive series depicting Khyber Pass and Shalimar Garden, was twice produced during 1961-1962. But the postal authorities were not satisfied with the shape of Bengali inscription denoting Pakistan. The inscription was redrawn in new style and all paisa values were printed with Pakistan in Bengali accordingly altered. Distinction of the new font is a straight line over all the letters resembling Pakistan which also connects the letters with each other. These stamps remained in use till 1970's.

The Shalimar Gardens, sometimes written as the Shalamar Gardens, is a Persian garden built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in Lahore, modern day Pakistan. The construction began in 1641 and was completed in 1642. The project management was carried out under the superintendence of Khalilullah Khan, a noble of Shah Jahan's court, in cooperation with Ali Mardan Khan and Mulla Alaul Maulk Tuni. The Shalimar Gardens are located near Baghbanpura along the Grand Trunk Road some 5 kilometers northeast of the main Lahore city.

The initial issue from January 1, 1900 replaced the standard issue depicting numbers and eagles. The image of Germania, rather than that of the ruling monarch as was customary in many other European monarchies, made it a unifying feature and did not complicate the relationship with other German royalty and the coexisting German postal authorities of Bavaria and Württemberg. The engraving was performed by Paul Eduard Waldraff (1870-1917) who used the actress Anna Führing as model. Wearing an octagonal imperial crown she is holding a sword and an olive branch. The Jugendstil design depicting Führing was personally chosen by the emperor Wilhelm II. (source: Wikipedia, read more about German Occupied Territories during 1914-1918 on Wikipedia)

In 1892, when the Theater am Schiffbauerdamm in Berlin was inaugurated, Führing played the role of Iphigenie. With the rise of the silent movies, Führing took on roles in the new medium. Some of the movies are: 'Nacht und Morgen' (1916) and 'Hausedame aus Familie gesucht' (1915).
In 1899, she got married to Ferdinand von Strantz, the Director of the Hofoper of Berlin and by 45 years her senior and then carried the title Baronin Anna von Strantz-Führing. The couple had one daughter. Anna Führing died in Berlin on November 2, 1929. (source: Wikipedia, read more about Anna Führing on Wikipedia)

Information:
The initial issue from January 1, 1900 replaced the standard issue depicting numbers and eagles. The image of Germania, rather than that of the ruling monarch as was customary in many other European monarchies, made it a unifying feature and did not complicate the relationship with other German royalty and the coexisting German postal authorities of Bavaria and Württemberg. The engraving was performed by Paul Eduard Waldraff (1870-1917) who used the actress Anna Führing as model. Wearing an octagonal imperial crown she is holding a sword and an olive branch. The Jugendstil design depicting Führing was personally chosen by the emperor Wilhelm II. (source: Wikipedia, read more about German Occupied Territories during 1914-1918 on Wikipedia)

Anna Führing was born in Hamburg on March 6, 1866 as the daughter of the theatre and restaurant owner Carl Führing. In Berlin she received her education in acting. She frequently appeared the on stage as the figure of Germania, just like she did on a festival in Düsseldorf in 1891 when emperor Wilhelm II was in attendance. In 1892, when the Theater am Schiffbauerdamm in Berlin was inaugurated, Führing played the role of Iphigenie. With the rise of the silent movies, Führing took on roles in the new medium. Some of the movies are: 'Nacht und Morgen' (1916) and 'Hausedame aus Familie gesucht' (1915).
In 1899, she got married to Ferdinand von Strantz, the Director of the Hofoper of Berlin and by 45 years her senior and then carried the title Baronin Anna von Strantz-Führing. The couple had one daughter. Anna Führing died in Berlin on November 2, 1929. (source: Wikipedia, read more about Anna Führing on Wikipedia)
