One stamp, a thousand ways to file it

A collecting genre born in the 1960s

Collecting by theme rather than by country is a fairly recent practice in philately: it developed from the 1960s onward, as many postal administrations began issuing on subjects with broad appeal — animals, flowers, art, celebrities — rather than sticking to national current events alone. The site organises this collection into ten main categories: flora, transport, sports, animals, history, art, sites and monuments, science and technology, religion, and miscellaneous. Each then splits into more specific sub-themes.

Generic sub-categories, others built for a single subject

The same pattern recurs across categories: alongside broad entries (Europe, flags, coats of arms under "history"; painting, music under "art"), there are sections built around a single name or period — Napoleon, De Gaulle, Christopher Columbus, the Second World War on the history side, Walt Disney and Hergé on the art side. These are subjects followed closely enough by collectors to earn their own entry rather than staying buried inside a broader category. The same pattern shows up among animals, where cats, dogs and horses each have their own section outside mammals in general.

"Miscellaneous", a category organised by occasion rather than subject

The logic shifts in the "miscellaneous" category: circus, scouts, horoscope, firefighters, exhibitions, masks and carnival, stamp-on-stamp have nothing of an animal or plant kingdom that could be split into families. What unites them is the occasion behind the issue — an anniversary, an event, a specific context — rather than an object or living thing shown on the stamp.

An output sometimes designed more for the collector than the post

The site says it plainly: some countries issued far more stamps than their postal traffic required, for the sole purpose of diversifying what they offer collectors. This pattern runs through nearly every thematic category on the site, from wildlife series by small island territories to Gulf emirate issues of the 1960s: the stamp serves as much as a collectible product as a means of postage.

Specialised catalogues for going further

For some sufficiently developed subjects, dedicated Michel catalogues exist: trains worldwide, ships, European birds, world football. They allow for more precise identification than a thematic listing alone, useful for anyone past the browsing stage and looking to catalogue a narrow subject seriously.
