Summary

Cuba-related images in Cuban postage stamps is to be expected and comes as no surprise to anyone. Much less known and studied is the fact that, from time to time, Cuba somehow shows up in foreign postage stamps as well as in so-called ‘cinderellas' (resembling stamps, but not issued for postal purposes).
