[edit]DescriptionVenezuela 1874 FO26.jpg |
English: Venezuela lithographed (possibly in 1871) by Felix Rasco in Caracas, 9r green fiscal usage by blue handstamp. Type B overprint.[1]
This is a revenue stamp from a series of stamps which was also used for postage. These were the only stamps used for postage in Venezuela from March, 1871, to August, 1873, and they were also largely employed for postal purposes in conjunction with the square “Arms” type, with control overprint, from this date onwards to 1879, when both were superseded by the larger-sized “Escuelas” stamp dating 1879. The inscription “Escuelas,” which is Spanish for “schools,” is explained by the fact that the revenue accruing from the use of these stamps was intended to be applied for the purposes of public instruction. They are so rarely found postmarked because only a very few places in Venezuela possessed a cancelling stamp at this date, and when used on letters they are generally found pen-cancelled. At the same time it is true that the great majority of the copies found to-day have been fiscally used. The stamps were lithographed, the heads being laid down first and the frames added afterwards.
