This striking pair of triangular stamps from the Dominican Republic, issued in 1956, commemorates both editions of that year’s Olympic Games — the Winter Games in Cortina d’Ampezzo and the Summer Games in Melbourne. The 3¢ violet stamp honors American figure skater Tenley Albright, the women’s singles gold medalist at Cortina, depicted in graceful motion beside the U.S. flag. The 1¢ brown stamp portrays Canadian marksman Gerald Ouellette, who won gold in the small-bore rifle event at Melbourne, with the Union Jack and Olympic rings symbolizing international sportsmanship.
