El Chasqui, a personal messenger of Inca, engraved and printed by Waterlow & Sons, and issued by Peru in December 1936, Scott No. 360, SG No. 588. Note in the detail below that the courier is playing a pan flute, presumably to announce his arrival at a checkpoint on his postal route. Interesting frame design, too. - nethryk   |
