Singapore's First Lenticular Stamps: Then & Now

Lenticular printing shifts between two images depending on the viewing angle. The Then & Now collection uses this to hold two moments in time on a single stamp — the past giving way to the present as the stamp is tilted. Together, the two stamps trace Singapore's postal story across two chapters: the Fullerton Building, from its years as the first General Post Office to its current life as a national monument and luxury hotel; and the Singapore postman, from mail delivery on foot through kampung tracks to the deliveries of today.

The collection is produced in collaboration with The Straits Times, whose photographic archive has documented Singapore's transformation since 1845. Four archival images, selected by The Straits Times' photojournalists, anchor each chapter across the two stamps.
