Hello, welcome back to this series and another stamp from Jamaica.
Now we are in the first series of GVI pictorial definitives. Some really lovely images on these stamps and some expensive stamps to collect if you pay attention to the catalogue. This 2d value has a couple of varieties which are usually hard to find if one wanted to have a complete collection, as well as perforation varieties.
Trivia: in 1661 when
the Spanish were leaving (fleeing perhaps is a better word) the island after finding they could not overcome
the British, the Spanish leader Don
Christobal de Ysassi left from this cove,
thus now known as Don Christopher’s
Cove. By all accounts it is a beautiful location on the north of the island.
One day we may get there.
Until then enjoy your stamps and all they bring Michael cddstamps.com
and
with thanks to my friend at British Commonwealth Album here - and you might
enjoy a visit to his online store the Used Stamp Collector here.
