Description
This stamp celebrates the 4th World Meteorological Day in 1964, illustrating Tunisia's integration into international scientific cooperation under the aegis of the World Meteorological Organization. The illustration, designed by artist Hatem El Mekki, uses contrasting graphics to symbolize the forecasting mission: a radiant, smiling sun contrasts with a melancholic figure in the rain, all above a measuring instrument such as a barometer. This message underlines the importance of mastering climate data for the development of the young Republic, particularly for its agricultural sector, a pillar of the national economy. By issuing this stamp, Tunisia affirms its desire to modernize its technical institutions and contribute to the progress of universal knowledge to better anticipate the hazards of nature and protect its resources.
