Hello again, one more from Jamaica. I hope you enjoy seeing this stamp. Titled Bamboo Walk and one more from the 1938 pictorial definitive series I mentioned previously.
You might think this is just a few bamboo trees colourfully named but in fact it is a special place. Also called Bamboo Avenue it is on the main South Coast Highway, between Middle Quarters and Lacovia.
The avenue was planted with Bambusa
Vulgaris, a specie of Bamboo which was the largest variety introduced in
Jamaica. The avenue is approximately two and a half miles long with the tall
bamboo forming a canopy over it.
All this from a simple stamp.
well not actually a simple stamp. If you have a copy check the
watermark. It is multiple script CA but
if the A is missing you are going to be very financially happy I think.
