Ingres. Roger freeing Angelica. (The Louvre) wiki:Orlando Furioso, a 16th-century epic poem by Ariosto, is the source of the tale of Roger, a knight whose steed is a hippogriff (a legendary creature half horse and half eagle). While riding near Brittany's coast Roger espies a beautiful woman, Angelica, chained to a rock on the Isle of Tears. She has been abducted and stripped naked by barbarians who have left her there as a human sacrifice to a sea monster. As Roger rides to her aid, a great thrashing in the water occurs#8212;it is the monster approaching Angelica. Roger drives his lance between the monster's eyes and rescues Angelica.   |

Jed,
perhaps determine by "listed" v "unlisted"
I use Scott
Guinea-Bissau last listed stamps Year 2000
Yours would probably be "illegal" although Scott fails to mention any for Guinea-Bissau.
Even the listed find very rare usage. In my topical accumulation of "Random Stuff That I Like," I have eleven sheetlets, five individual stamps, and one purported FDC that would all be considered "illegal". My sole Guinea-Bissau item is a mini-sheet of five stamps from 2013, depicting various Japanese actresses and models, mostly in bikinis, and it definitely falls into this category. Whatever. I bought these things knowing (or at least suspecting) that they weren't legit, and I have them marked as such in my inventory. How else would I be able to get "stamps" featuring B-list celebrities like Jennifer Love Hewitt? |
