Saw this on FB and thought it was very interesting.

Always interesting how the Kruger Park brand became so globally known as an icon. In 1937 an attractive series of Kruger Park publicity stamps by well-known South African artist, Ernest Ullmann (1900 – 1975) were launched with the aim to carry the message of this great game sanctuary to every corner of the globe. Herewith a 1937 newspaper clipping with the famous promotional stamps shown.
