*** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***

You have the description on the stamp, just under the picture, just type it in Google translate. I can't read it the scan is not good enough

can't read ,,the words are too dim.

I can read the legend on the right: "De una litografia de la epoca"

Try to magnify the left part.

start of the civil revolution of 1820 , a group of army officers walk in Madrid to ask for reestablish the 1812 constitution.

I'm sure now that I found the basic information,, some Google expert will give you the full story

In 1814, after his release by Napoleon, king Ferdinand VII of Spain, returned to his country and the first thing that he did was to abolish the 1812, draft by the Cadiz parliament; thus restoring the absolutism.
By 1820, some troops who where in Andalucia (South of Spain) awaiting their shipment to South America to fight the Spanish colonies independence movement, made and uprising, marched towards the capital (Madrid) and "convinced" the king to sware the 1812 Constitution.
But in 1823 "The Holy Covenant" (Euope's absolut monarchies alliance) sent a French army under the comand of the Duke of Aguleme, called "St. Louis ten thousand sons" to restablish the absolutist rule in Spain.

This is a non-issued 1939 Spanish Republic army's post stamp. Edifil NE 50. Cat value (2004): 122 €

See I told you someone will Google and paste a reply

Valjean: If you're interested, I can send to you a scan of the Edifil catalog page showing this stamp and "its fellows". But, I'm afraid, the text is written in Spanish.

Wait!

You have independent knowledge?

Do you have kids? Are they apps?

Cheers,

As far as I know, I don't have any kids. At least, not anyone who asks me for any money.

What I wrote is something that any boy, going to high school in Spain on the 70's would know. Who needs Google? There's life outside internet. Do you know that there are things called "books"?

As a Catalan, growing in Barcelona (then, and by now, on the Spanish kingdom) I was thaught Spanish history, when I was 14. And I still have a very memory!

See - you need to pay a return visit to the country of Europe.

Cursus, you say have a "very memory!". A very WHAT memory? Did you forget?

Anyway, thanks for the knowledge .

I'm sorry, I wanted to type "a very good memory". A typing mistake... Not a memory fault...Anyway, English is not my first Language, just my second one (after Catalan).
