Umberto's mustache looks better/neater on the stamp than in the photo. Artistic license I suppose. |

Here is an image of a stamp featuring a portrait of Manuel José Estrada Cabrera (1857-1924), President of Guatemala from 1898 to 1920, with the frame decorated by a Resplendent Quetzal ( Pharomachrus mocinno), the national bird of Guatemala, engraved and printed by American Bank Note Company, and issued by Guatemala in 1918, Scott No. 161. I think the quetzal's extravagant tail feathers complement the old gentleman's mustache rather well, don't you? - nethryk  |
