Can anybody offer any more in depth info other than "charity"?
Are there any catalogues or information about the Gadzillions of Spanish emmisions of similar nature?

Here is a cute yarn about "The Order of the Terrace"

These special stories have fallen out of circulation, since the days when the French ladies
and gentlemen all read fairy tales together, and the order of the Terrace was instituted for
little Louis XV. The Knights of the Order were to play at games on the Terraces at Versailles
with his youthful majesty, and then assemble together (specially on their feast day, the day of St. Bartholomew)
and spell out fairy stories for the rest of the afternoon. It was not only children
who liked fairy tales in those days; there was a general fashion for them.

Tony,
written interaction oftentimes fills in some of the colour in the
imagined canvas that sometimes is just a hazy outline.
It may not finish the work, but add hues and feeling to the picture.
Your commentary did so, and I thank you.
Thanks for taking the time.

BTW After reading the Peninsular wars, I already feel just a little at home in Spain.

Hi Rodney. Not too much info about the stamp itself, I'm afraid, just some peripheral stuff.

During the Civil War the move through Andalusia left many a town in hopeless state and eventually Social Assistance
became the norm for the entire province. Antequera, north of Malaga, was no different. I have checked the only two
Civil War books I have at home (History of the Spanish Civil War by Jackson, and Martinez's Spanish translation of
Southworth's Myth of Franco's Crusade) and neither one of them seems to indicate Antequera as having suffered any more
or any less than the rest of Andalusia. Nothing big à la Valladolid or Barcelona is mentioned, but, then again,
there are a million books from a million different perspectives out there.

As far as modern Antequera is concerned there must be a lot of information on Google and Wiki and, I presume, the
town would also has its own pages.

I don't know how much, if any, this helps. Just filling in blanks.

You found a sibling Peter, well done!
I wasn't aware of that one either.
Great stuff, and thanks for sharing.

Tony,
knowing how much you appear to love Spain,
Here is something to knock your socks off. (If you have not already seen it)

Don't bother going there, unless you have a few days to get lost in Philatelia.

It is disappointing in one aspect, it highlights how sad my little collection is
For mine, one of the pinnacles of man's ability to collect, research and
classify.
I just wish I could read Spanish

There was a working group of the Madrid Philatelic Society
that produced a catalogue of those issues in 1995.

It was published through the Spanish Association of Philatelic
Societies.
Unfortunately, it appears to be out of print now, but I'm sure you
could
find a second hand copy online or at auction.

By the way, what is wrong wiyh the Edifil catalogue?

Blair

Thank you very much Blair,
I'll google that up and see if I can buy a copy online.
Any idea what the name of the catalogue was?

Nothing wrong with Edifil Blair,
It is a very good catalogue, but only serves up to a point,
We Cinderella collectors need to go deep, deep, deep underground
to satisfy our passion.

Dumpster diving philately is true stamp collecting
when there is no fiscal recompense then it is "true" collecting.

An old teacher of mine has built his worldwide collection over the span
of 80+ years. His rule is that he will pay no more than five U.S. cents
for a stamp (he recently modified this to "less than six cents" -- if a
lot works out to 5.98 cents/stamp, that's OK. :-) )

For his efforts, he has contacted Guinness about the possibility of being
entered as the largest mounted collection of all-different stamps in the
world.

He has lots of stamps that are now rarities -- everything from varieties
that the seller did not recognize to sleepers such as the Bhutanese
phonograph stamps, each of which he bought for a nickel (5 cents).

So, one needn't be a cinderella collector to achieve greatness in this
regard. :-)

While you're at it, try to find a 1960 Galvez catalog.
(But if you find one in the US and don't want to pay the
shipping, please let me know about it.)
