Can anybody offer any more in depth info other than "charity"?
Are there any catalogues or information about the Gadzillions of Spanish emmisions of similar nature? (other than edifil) (not my stamp) http://cjoint.com/data/cxo2o3wtFL.htm Between the Castle and the Lion (Castille & Leon) there is shown here a vase of Lillies This is the heraldic heiroglyph for the "Order of the Terrace" Here is a cute yarn about "The Order of the Terrace" These special stories have fallen out of circulation, since the days when the French ladies and gentlemen all read fairy tales together, and the order of the Terrace was instituted for little Louis XV. The Knights of the Order were to play at games on the Terraces at Versailles with his youthful majesty, and then assemble together (specially on their feast day, the day of St. Bartholomew) and spell out fairy stories for the rest of the afternoon. It was not only children who liked fairy tales in those days; there was a general fashion for them. |

Tony, written interaction oftentimes fills in some of the colour in the imagined canvas that sometimes is just a hazy outline. It may not finish the work, but add hues and feeling to the picture. Your commentary did so, and I thank you. Thanks for taking the time. BTW After reading the Peninsular wars, I already feel just a little at home in Spain. "Tony Vella" wrote in message ... Hi Rodney. Not too much info about the stamp itself, I'm afraid, just some peripheral stuff. During the Civil War the move through Andalusia left many a town in hopeless state and eventually Social Assistance became the norm for the entire province. Antequera, north of Malaga, was no different. I have checked the only two Civil War books I have at home (History of the Spanish Civil War by Jackson, and Martinez's Spanish translation of Southworth's Myth of Franco's Crusade) and neither one of them seems to indicate Antequera as having suffered any more or any less than the rest of Andalusia. Nothing big à la Valladolid or Barcelona is mentioned, but, then again, there are a million books from a million different perspectives out there. As far as modern Antequera is concerned there must be a lot of information on Google and Wiki and, I presume, the town would also has its own pages. I don't know how much, if any, this helps. Just filling in blanks. -- Tony Vella Ottawa, Ontario, Canada -- http://www.amedialuz.ca/ "rodney" pookiethai@NOSPAM iprimus.com.au wrote in message ...

You found a sibling Peter, well done! I wasn't aware of that one either. Great stuff, and thanks for sharing.

Tony, knowing how much you appear to love Spain, Here is something to knock your socks off. (If you have not already seen it) Don't bother going there, unless you have a few days to get lost in Philatelia. It is disappointing in one aspect, it highlights how sad my little collection is For mine, one of the pinnacles of man's ability to collect, research and classify. I just wish I could read Spanish http://www.agoradefilatelia.org/viewtopic.php?t=15485 "Tony Vella" I don't know how much, if any, this helps. Just filling in blanks. Tony Vella |

By the way, what is wrong wiyh the Edifil catalogue? Blair |

Thank you very much Blair,
I'll google that up and see if I can buy a copy online. Any idea what the name of the catalogue was? Nothing wrong with Edifil Blair, It is a very good catalogue, but only serves up to a point, We Cinderella collectors need to go deep, deep, deep underground to satisfy our passion. Dumpster diving philately is true stamp collecting when there is no fiscal recompense then it is "true" collecting. "Blair (TC)" wrote in message ...

An old teacher of mine has built his worldwide collection over the span of 80+ years. His rule is that he will pay no more than five U.S. cents for a stamp (he recently modified this to "less than six cents" -- if a lot works out to 5.98 cents/stamp, that's OK. :-) ) For his efforts, he has contacted Guinness about the possibility of being entered as the largest mounted collection of all-different stamps in the world. He has lots of stamps that are now rarities -- everything from varieties that the seller did not recognize to sleepers such as the Bhutanese phonograph stamps, each of which he bought for a nickel (5 cents). So, one needn't be a cinderella collector to achieve greatness in this regard. :-) -- Joshua H. McGee San Marino, Los Angeles, California, USA, Earth http://www.mcgees.org |
