They were printed in a pane of two sheetlets and then guillotined apart, creating one sheetlet with an imperf top margin and one with an imperf bottom margin (see scans).

I discovered this soon after they were issued and acquired all four very easily. In my album, I put the two varieties on end, on facing pages and the perf differences are readily seen.

From most internet sources, the sheetlets are being sold under $4.00 each, and when last checked, all were being offered.

I think getting the sheetlets you need will make interesting additions to your collection.

Inside #1021: G.B. #837P

Lou Wrote: Uruguay did not have permission from the GB Post to use its newly copyrighted images, and as the s/s design was already set, to get around the ban, they modified the GB #836 stamp by printing the St Stephan's Crown on the 10½p with the 11p value and color of GB #837, creating a stamp that didn't exist! You should have both stamps in the sites to show the differences.

This may also have been the reason for the brown image of GB #1 on #C439b, but it has blank spaces for the check letter positions, and the sites scan should be matching, so change to G.B. #1, proof without check letters.

AMERICA SERIES: POSTMAN - TWO MOTIVES

This issue is one of the America Series adopted by the Postal Union of the Americas, Spain and Portugal (PUASP) in l989. Every year since then, the member Administrations of the Union have simultaneously issued a philatelic series each year on a different subject. The Postman is the motive chosen for l997.

THE POSTMAN IN TODAY'S POST

The postman plays an essential role within the regional process of postal reform under way through which the Post Offices are turning into enterprises. In the Uruguayan Postal Administration, the postman's traditional role has changed. Now, the Postman is the direct sales promoter of the Postal Administration. The success of the recently launched "Collection at the sender's address" service depends mainly on the effective participation of the postman.

More than 500 postal agents have been trained and are now dealing with our clients to offer a specific service of registered mail under the newly established "Track and Trace" System. Clients may ask by telephone that their mails be collected by the postman at their address.

This new service tends to improve the quality-of- service standards and aims to win enterprises as the Post Office's main clients, as is the trend all over the world.

At present, there are 800 postmen all over the country. They have been recruted in the course of the past two years within the framework of agreements passed with organizations promoting employment for youth. Young postmen start like this, their career within the Post Office. In this new generation of postal agents the proportion of women to men employed is far higher than in the past. Nearly fifty per cent of the postal agents recruted in Montevideo are women.

The stamps released today depicts all those changes: the new role of the postman, who deals directly with the clients and meets an

increasing demand from businesses; and the greater participation of the female workforce.

The fourth stamp shows the first Uruguayan postal issue "Diligencia", released on October 1st 1856 and the 5-cent official stamp for ordinary letters issued by the Swiss Confederation in 1851.

So I gave it this description in my album (translated): The Magician presents his fancy collection to the king and his court's entourage.

btw. google told me, that the Spanish painter Mariano Barbasan was also shortly in Montevideo, where he held 2 exhibitions in the 1910s.

There are also some postmarks and rubber stamp flight cachets as they appear on the actual flight cards,

Lou wrote: This s/s was a disappointment when I first saw it—no examples of covers from the flights—until I took a closer look a top margin.  Not a heck of a lot there, but I could make out bits and pieces of postal card imprints and postal markings. I did some online searches and checked at the CCNY library and found a little background on the aviators and flights but no pictures of flight covers. So, ”The Stamp on Stamp Detective” went to work:

Checking online I looked for scans of Uruguay stationery around the time period of the flights and found several of each type. The portion of the card at the top left of the s/s had large lettering reading “Union Postal Universal”, and an indicium of 2c; below in the stamp was “Año 1887”, so this was H&G PC #31. Added over the indicium was a Uruguay stamp and even tho it was only partially reproduced, after a fast check in Scott’s I recognized the base, leg of Eros and fruit from the cornucopia of #157.

The other partial postal card was a little harder to identify as the indicium was not shown and there were a number of cards with the same inscriptions.  Then I saw inside the stamps below, a faint building outline and even fainter wording: ”PENITENCIARIA (MONTEVIDEO)”. There are several view sets listed, but only the #52 set has the penitentiary view, so I was able to positively ID the card as H&G PC #52/5 ( Penitentiary View).
