In Aztec mythology, Mictlantecuhtli was a god of the underworld and one of the principal gods. Here is an image of an engraved airmail stamp with a striking black and white design featuring Mictlantecuhtli "delivering" a piece of mail (presumably from the dead letter office), issued by Mexico on December 1, 1934, Scott No. C65, SG No. 573. - nethryk  |

I started collecting black 'n white stamps, based on the colour indication in the Michel catalogue. On the pic below some look brownish rather than black, but according to Michel they are all black. Klaus  |

I was scanning some Austrian airmails and thought of this thread. We have a lot of new faces who might enjoy paging through the great images. It has been awhile, so I apologize if this is a duplication, but I don't recall seeing it:  The Austrian 50g plane passing crane from 1926. [C26 in Scott] |
