Reminds me of the stamps issued by the Emirate of Ajman, prior to UAE's birth in December 1970. Like several of the emirates, Ajman was desperately poor at the time. Someone had the idea to issue a series of stamps that featured Western art, mostly of semi-nude women. Must buys for many stamp collectors, to say nothing of Arabian Peninsula soft porn fanciers. A reverse form of the Orientalism that popularized harem images.
