In January 1968 the decision was made to produce the Jamaica Human rights set of three stamps to mark Human Rights Year, the designs were prepared by Jennifer Toombs. The designs went through the usual approval procedures, which included the Jamaican postal administration, but it was not until the printed stamps reached the island that objections were raised locally about the stark nature of the black and white hands on designs.[1] After several weeks’ debate, it was decided not to release the Toombs’ designs, but for new designs to be prepared locally with brown hands. As crown agents had distributed copies a number can be found.[2]
