Brief Description:

A brief description of the Most Popular Topics of this Release are: The Philatelic Exhibitionsin general, and in particular International Philatelic Exhibitions, and more in particular Asian International Stamp Exhibition and Ibero-American Philatelic Exhibitions, as although being the 10th Asian International Stamp Exhibition Taipei '96, the Exhibition that this release is about, it also refers to another International Philatelic Exhibition, the Exposición Iberoamericana de Filatelia Uruguay 1996, or in English, the Ibero-American Philatelic Exhibition Uruguay 1996. Finally, a more comprenhensive Topic is clearly Philatelyitself.

Another Topic of this Release is Semi-Postal Stamps or Charity Stamps, as it Facial Value is UYP 7 + UYP 3, being the first amount valid for postage, and the second goes to give funds to some project, however I do not know which one.

In the same way Montevideo City, Uruguay Country and Uruguayan International Stamp Exhibitionscould be added as Topics of this Issue too.

Also the design includes a Building at the right bottom of the Block, so ArchitectureTopic could be added too. Unfortunately I have not information about the Bird and Flower shown, however it is clear that both were the ones selected for the Taipei 96 Exhibition Logotype, and also I do not know if the Buildingin the Design is a well known building in Taipei, perhaps the one were the Exhibitionwas held.

Besides that, as in many Uruguayan Blocks of that epoch, the Coat of Arms of Uruguay is included too, giving the realease, not only the Coat of ArmsTopic, that also all the Topics that Uruguayan Coat of Arms includes, that are: Lighthouses, Hills, Horses, Cows, Animals, Scales, Weight Measuring Systems, and Measuring Systems.

Issue information:

Country: Uruguay
Date: August 27th, 2014

FDC Type: Official Cover from Post Office
FDC not sent Shape and Size: Rectangular [165 mm. x 105 mm.]
FDC sent on issue day Shape and Size: Rectangular [165 mm. x 105 mm.]

Topics:

Issue:

As Main Topic: One could go to the most comprenhensive Personalities, to more precise ones of Diplomatics Personalities or Ambassadors, also Cuban Personalities, and of course the Personalityof Mario Garcia Incháustegui in particular too.

Then, surrounding the main topic, could be found the followings:First, Cubaas the nationality of Mario Garcia Incháustegui, however, not only this country are related to him, also the ones in which he was Ambassador could be related to this issue, that are, besides Uruguay, Chile, Japón, and Malasia. He was also Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Envoy in Paraguay, and Permanent Representativeof Cuba in United Nations.

As Ambassadorin Uruguayhe supported Unionsin Labour Disputes, and for this reason, or perhaps more precisely using that as the excuse, the Uruguayan President of that time, Benito Nardone, following orders from the CIAof United States, dismissed him in 1961. So, Uruguayan History, Latin American History, and the Intervention of United States in Latin America, could be another Topics that are connected with this Release

Subsequently, he was Representative of the Cuban Government in UN headquarters. In the Debate on the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962, he described the Soviet missiles as Defensive and the Naval blockade imposed by the Cabinet Kennedy, as an Act of war. From 1963 to 1968 he Headed the Department of International Organizations in the Ministerio del Comercio Exterior (MINCEX), (Cuban Ministry of Foreign Trade)and Represented the Cuban government at numerous International Conferences. From 1969 to 1970 he Represented the Cuban government at the United Nations Office at Geneva.

To end this section, not a fruit of his great work in this case add more Topics to this release, is his tragic death which relate him and this issue with Planesand Transports, and more in particular to Plane Crashes, and Plane Hijacks, as he and his wife Gladys Delgado Ortizwere passengers of the Malaysian Airline System Flight 653 (MH653), that was a Scheduled domestic flightfrom Penangto Kuala Lumpurin Malaysia, operated by Malaysian Airline System (MAS), that on the evening of 4 December 1977, the Boeing 737-200 Aircraftflying the service Crashedat Tanjung Kupang, Johor, Malaysia, while purportedly being diverted by Hijackersto Singapore, being the first fatal air crash for Malaysia Airlines (as this Airlineis now known), with all 93 passengers and 7 crew killed. The flight was apparently hijacked as soon as it reached cruise altitude. The circumstances in which the hijacking and subsequent crash occurred remain unsolved.

Now, regarding the desing of the Special Cancelation:Besides reinforcing the Personalityof Mario Garcia Incháustegui, as a Portraitof him with the legend "Embajador de Cuba", that means "Cuban Ambassador", it is almost all of the design of the Cancelation, it also reinfornce the Topics: Cuba, Diplomatics, and Ambassadors, and adds the Topics: Lenses, Glasses, and Baldness.

Finally, in a more symbolic way:I think that Cuba, Cuban Revolution, Anti-Imperialism, are the Topics better represented in this Release.  

Stamps selection:

The stamps selected were:A stamp released on October 3rd of 2006 about the 40 Years of the Congress of Union Unification, and a stamp issued on October 5th of 2011 commemorating the 90 Years of the Diplomatic Relationship between Uruguay and Japan.
 
The reason for selecting these stamps was:quite different for each one. For the first, I wanted to focus on Mario Garcia Incháustegui relationship with Uruguay, and, as he was dismissed for supporting the Unions, I thought that the stamp of the 40 Years of the Congress of Union Unification was a good one to illustrate his work here.

Then, for the second stamp, I choose with a completely different view. I looked for some stamp related with Mario Garcia Incháusteguiwork outside Uruguay, and the one of the 90 Years of the Diplomatic Relationship between Uruguay and Japan, seems well suited with this veiw, because is a Diplomatic Relationshiprelated Stamp, and also it is about Japan, the country in which he was the Cuban Ambassador, when he passed away in the tragic Plane Crashof Malaysian Airline System Flight 653 (MH653) .

The other merit of the stamp selected, was that includes a nice an popular Topic, that is the World Heritage Sites, that are the places (such as a forest, mountain, lake, island, desert, monument, building, complex, or city) that are listed by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)as of special cultural or physical significance, as it includes the Site 661 of his list, the Himeji-jo Castle

The selection of this stamps, add the following topics:The first, besides reinforcing UnionsTopic, also adds Flags, Manifestations, 40th Anniversary, Photograpy, and perhaps more precisely Old Photography.

The second one, besides reinforcing Diplomatic Relationship and Japan Topic, also includes, as already mentioned, the Himeji-jo Castle, and with it the Site 661of the World Heritage Sites, and also is related with the topics: United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), and even: United Nations, Architecture, Buildings, Castles, 17th-century Japanese Castle architecture, History, Japan History, 17th-century History.

Also the stamp and it Label, add the Topics: Trees, Flowers, Vegetables by the beautiful flowered Treethat appears outside the Castle Walls, and also a Yukimi, or Toro, Stone Lattern. The Lattern shown in the Label is placed in the only Japanese Garden of Montevideo, builded on 2001, and located at the surroundings of the Musseum "Juan Manuel Blanes". This Lattern is a gift of the Citizens of Nakatsugawa, a City located in the Tōnō Region of Gifu Prefecture, Japan, that was founded on April 1st, 1952.

A last Topic that could be added is: 90th Anniversary.

If you consider that there are another topics in this stamp, that were not spot in this review, you are encouraged to telling me about them, so please do not hesitate to post a comment. I would appreciate your help very much.

Issue:

As Main Topic: I think that Paintings will be the one, and inside it, one could identify: Uruguayan Paintings or Uruguayan Painters, and of course in particular the two painters selected by this release that are: Ernesto Laroche andPedro Blanes Viale,and it respective Paintings: "El Pozo", in english "Well Fountain"and "Retrato de María de Castro de Figari", in english "Portrait of María de Castro de Figari".

Then, also a wider Topic as Art, or two more precise as Oil Painting orUruguayan Painters of Beginnings of XX Century, could be selected as Main Topics too.

Then, surrounding the main topic, could be found the followings:I think Personalitiesas one topic itself, and the Personality of each of the Painters Ernesto Laroche and Pedro Blanes Viale could be others included in the release. Then also Genre Art and Landscape Paintingcould be also identified, as there were the main topics of both Artist selected in this release.

Now, regarding the desing of the stamps:As the stamps only have in common the way that they are diagrammed, the design will be described in section that talk of each stamp, however, one topic could be added to the whole serie that is the Museums and also Pictures, as both stamps were designed using Picturescourtesy of the Museo Nacional de Artes Visuales (MNAV), that in english means Visual Arts National Museum.

Finally, in a more symbolic way: First, taking a wide view, this Annual series of Painters, that the post office is releasing since 2010 has the intention to put Paintings and Art as relevant part of our Culture and our Nationality. Then, the selection of this particular  two Painters that have many things in common, shows also an intention to  give more visibility this year to the Uruguayan Oil Painters orUruguayan Painters of Beginnings of XX Century. 

Stamp 1:

The Stamp 1: Through the beautiful Painting of Ernesto Laroche, add mainly the connection with Floraor Vegetables, and more precise ones Treesand GrassTopics, as they are the most visible elements in the Painting Scene, however, although not seen easily, the Well Fountain of Concrete that gives the title to this Artwork, also mades this particular Stamp, and by extenstion the release, useful for rather popular collection about Water, or more precise ones as Spring Waters, Well Fountains itself, and perhaps also Technology or Primitive Technologyor Architecture.

In a more deep perspective, from the Painting Scene, feelings like Peace, Tranquility, Bliss, and perhaps a bit of Solitude, could appear, making the stamp useful in a rather unlikely Emotions Collection.

Stamp 2:

The Stamp 2: Shows a completely different Scene, through the Painting "Retrato de María de Castro de Figari" from Pedro Blanes Viale. In this case we change from an Outdoor Scene to an Indoor Scene, and from a Landscape Painting to a Genre Art, more in particular a Portrait.  

In the scene, as it is a Portrait, the main purpose is to show the person that is being portrayed, in this case, María de Castro de Figari, that was the spouse of the famous Uruguayan Painter Pedro Figari, and mother of another Uruguayan Painter Juan Carlos Figari.

This woman, María de Castro de Figari, was portrayed wearing a splendid Dress in light blue Silk, with a yellow Flower attached to it, and having a Fanin her right Handand over her Lap.

She is sitting over a sophisticated Sofamade in Carved Woodwith a nice designed Upholstery. Over the Sofathere is also a Pair of Gloves, probably part of María Dress, and a Cushion.

The scene is completed by a fine Flower Pot, with a plenty of Blue Flowers.

Block:

The block: Clearly reinforce the Painting and Arts Topic, and also add the objects Paintbrushand Painter Paletteas these two ones are included in icon used to show the ink colours used in the printing of the stamps.

FDC:

The desing of the First Day Cancelation: Also Reinforces the Paintingand ArtsTopic, and in particular the Paintbrushelement, as two of these items took almost all of the cancelation design.

Issue:

As Main Topic: I think that Paintings will be the one, and inside it, one could identify: Uruguayan Paintings or Uruguayan Painters, and of course in particular the two painters selected by this release that are: Ernesto Laroche andPedro Blanes Viale,and it respective Paintings: "El Pozo", in english "Well Fountain"and "Retrato de María de Castro de Figari", in english "Portrait of María de Castro de Figari".

Then, also a wider Topic as Art, or two more precise as Oil Painting orUruguayan Painters of Beginnings of XX Century, could be selected as Main Topics too.

Then, surrounding the main topic, could be found the followings:I think Personalitiesas one topic itself, and the Personality of each of the Painters Ernesto Laroche and Pedro Blanes Viale could be others included in the release. Then also Genre Art and Landscape Paintingcould be also identified, as there were the main topics of both Artist selected in this release.

Now, regarding the desing of the stamps:As the stamps only have in common the way that they are diagrammed, the design will be described in section that talk of each stamp, however, one topic could be added to the whole serie that is the Museums and also Pictures, as both stamps were designed using Picturescourtesy of the Museo Nacional de Artes Visuales (MNAV), that in english means Visual Arts National Museum.

Finally, in a more symbolic way: First, taking a wide view, this Annual series of Painters, that the post office is releasing since 2010 has the intention to put Paintings and Art as relevant part of our Culture and our Nationality. Then, the selection of this particular  two Painters that have many things in common, shows also an intention to  give more visibility this year to the Uruguayan Oil Painters orUruguayan Painters of Beginnings of XX Century. 

Stamp 1:

The Stamp 1: Through the beautiful Painting of Ernesto Laroche, add mainly the connection with Floraor Vegetables, and more precise ones Treesand GrassTopics, as they are the most visible elements in the Painting Scene, however, although not seen easily, the Well Fountain of Concrete that gives the title to this Artwork, also mades this particular Stamp, and by extenstion the release, useful for rather popular collection about Water, or more precise ones as Spring Waters, Well Fountains itself, and perhaps also Technology or Primitive Technologyor Architecture.

In a more deep perspective, from the Painting Scene, feelings like Peace, Tranquility, Bliss, and perhaps a bit of Solitude, could appear, making the stamp useful in a rather unlikely Emotions Collection.

Stamp 2:

The Stamp 2: Shows a completely different Scene, through the Painting "Retrato de María de Castro de Figari" from Pedro Blanes Viale. In this case we change from an Outdoor Scene to an Indoor Scene, and from a Landscape Painting to a Genre Art, more in particular a Portrait.  

In the scene, as it is a Portrait, the main purpose is to show the person that is being portrayed, in this case, María de Castro de Figari, that was the spouse of the famous Uruguayan Painter Pedro Figari, and mother of another Uruguayan Painter Juan Carlos Figari.

This woman, María de Castro de Figari, was portrayed wearing a splendid Dress in light blue Silk, with a yellow Flower attached to it, and having a Fanin her right Handand over her Lap.

She is sitting over a sophisticated Sofamade in Carved Woodwith a nice designed Upholstery. Over the Sofathere is also a Pair of Gloves, probably part of María Dress, and a Cushion.

The scene is completed by a fine Flower Pot, with a plenty of Blue Flowers.

Block:

The block: Clearly reinforce the Painting and Arts Topic, and also add the objects Paintbrushand Painter Paletteas these two ones are included in icon used to show the ink colours used in the printing of the stamps.

FDC:

The desing of the First Day Cancelation: Also Reinforces the Paintingand ArtsTopic, and in particular the Paintbrushelement, as two of these items took almost all of the cancelation design.

If you consider that there are another topics in this stamp, that were not spot in this review, you are encouraged to telling me about them, so please do not hesitate to post a comment. I would appreciate your help very much.
