Item description:

Complete Sheets ( 20 sets) of 2008 100th Anniversary of the National Taiwan Museum Stamps. RO China.
First day of issued: May 29,2008.

Formerly the Taiwan Governor-General’s Museum, the National Taiwan Museum, founded in 1908, is the oldest museum in Taiwan. The museum’s focus is on natural history. 2008 is the 100th anniversary since the founding of the National Taiwan Museum. A set of two stamps featuring the museum’s most treasured pieces: the Yellow Tiger National Flag of Democratic Taiwan, a portrait of Jheng Cheng-gong(Koxinga), and a map of Taiwan dating from the Emperor Kangsi’s reign during the Cing Dynasty.
The NT$5 stamp depicts the Yellow Tiger National Flag of Democratic Taiwan and the NT$25 stamp portrays Jheng Cheng-gong(Koxinga) with the detail of a map of Taiwan dating from the Emperor Kangsi’s reign during the Cing Dynasty as background.

The designs follow:
1. The Yellow Tiger National Flag of Democratic Taiwan: In 1895, the Cing Dynasty of China ceded Taiwan to Japan. The local gentry petitioned unsuccessfully for the Cing court to reverse the decision. Without China’s support, people in Taiwan declared independence and established the Republic of Formosa. The republic’s flag featured a yellow tiger on a blue ground. They intentionally chose the tiger, which, however formidable, falls behind the Cing court’s dragon.
2. A portrait of Jheng Cheng-gong(Koxinga): This portrait is the earliest and most lifelike of all the extant Jheng portraits. It is believed that Jheng commissioned an artist to paint this portrait in Tainan. In 1911, it was included in the collection of the Taiwan Shrine. Later, a Japanese governor of Taiwan ordered a Japanese painter to make a copy and put it in Kaishan Shrine. That copy is also part of the museum collection today.
