| Abstract: | Who would think of looking on the back of a stamp for anything at all interesting? Yet, on some stamps there are odd things printed on the back. Who, for example, would expect to find a Latin prayer on the back of a stamp? Yet on the 1895 issue of Portugal - which was issued to celebrate the 700th anniversary of the birth of St. Anthony of Padua there is such a prayer on the back of every stamp. The most curious picture of this series shows the saint preaching to the fishes. [excerpt] |
