Topics:

Issue:

As Main Topic: As it was with the Stampissued with the same motif, I think Footballor SoccerTopic will be the selected one, and this one in a wider Sports Topic. Then, going on the opposite direction, to more precise Topics: Uruguayan Football, Football Teams, Uruguayan Football Teams, even Centenarians Football Teams, and of course the team honoured itself "Institución Atlética Sud América"or "Sud América"too.

Then, surrounding the main topic, could be found the followings:First, the CentenaryTopic, and then, going deeper, as the origins of the Club has his roots in the Jewish Neighbourhood, Jewscould be a Topic related to this release. Then, the Club also has the particularity to be nicknamed "Buzones", that means Mailbox, so Mailboxitself and Postare Topics included in this Issue too.

Now, regarding the desing of the Special Cancelation:Besides reinforcing all the previously mentioned topics, it also add the ClothingTopic, or the more precise ones, Sportwearsor T-Shirts, as the cancellation shows the sketch of a Football T-Shirt, that outline the text that commemorates the Centenary of Sud América Football Team.

Finally, in a more symbolic way:As well as in the Stamp of this motif, I said that the more symbolic Topics were by the side of The History of Uruguay, specially the Small Stories, the Anecdotes, the Simple Things, that step by step mades the Historyof any Nation, for the cancellation I think, by selecting the T-Shirt in the design, instead of the Neighbourhoodand the Mailboxshown in the Stamp, the focus was shifted to Football itself rather than History.  

Stamps selection:

The stamps selected were:Naturally,the Stampissued with the same motif was the first option, and one of the stamps selected, the other one was one Released on February 2nd of 2007 that commemorates the First Infantile Football World Cup, celebrated in Uruguaythat year, and named "José Nazzasi", honouring this great Uruguayan Football Player.
 
The reason for selecting these stamps was:for the first one, trivial, because It match exactly with the Cancellation Topic, then the selection of the second one, although clearly influenced by Football Topic, none of the previous stamps were related with Sud América Team, so the stamp selected was one of many that could have worked well too.

The selection of this stamp in particular was due to it has the virtue of been rather Neutral insided the Football Topic, as although there were issued recently stamps about the Centenary of another Football Teams, I think that it would not be fair with the Football Teamhonoured in the Cancellation, using a stamp about another Club, so I prefered a Neutral one.

The other merit of the stamp selected, was his connection with the Past or History of Uruguayan Football, through the Personality of José Nazzasi.

The selection of this stamps, add the following topics:As already mentioned, both, the Cancellation and the first stamp selected, were released commemorating the same, so this stamps only reinforces the Topics that already exist in the Cancelation.

However, the second one, besides reinforcing Footballor SoccerTopic, and this in a wider Sports, also includes some other more precise Topics inside Football, like Infantile Football, and more precise Infantile Football World Cups, and that in particular Infantile Football World Cup Uruguay 2007, probably all of them difficult to find in stamps, then there is another branch of Topics like Football Players or Uruguayan Football Players, and also the Personalityof Jose Nazzasitoo.

Then, following the path of José Nazzasi, several topics emerge. First Olympic Games, and Football World Cups, as he won both Olympic Game Paris 1924 and Olympic Game Amsterdam 1928, and also the World Cup Uruguay 1930, then other topics appears by the Football Teams in which he played, that were all Uruguayan Football Teams:  Centro Atlético Lito, a team that now did not exist, and the still existing Club Atlético Bella Vista, and Club Nacional de Football.

Another Topic that could be seen in this second stamp is the Flags one, with the Flag of Uruguay in his design, and with the Flag of Uruguay, as already mentioned in previous issues, includes the presence of the Sun, more in particular the Sun of May that refers to the May Revolution, a week-long series of events that took place from May 18 to 25, 1810, in Buenos Aires, capital of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata. This Spanish colony included roughly the territories of present-day Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay. The result was the removal of Viceroy Baltasar Hidalgo de Cisneros and the establishment of a local government, the Primera Junta (First Junta), on May 25. It is also claimed that the Sun of May is a representation of the Inca Sun god Inti, and also another view is that is influenced by the emblem of the French Revolution, and that emblem was taken from the Freemasonic representations of the All-seeing eye.

Finally, some minor topics, like Balls, a new one in the Logotype, and an old one holded by José Nazzasi, are shown, and also the Tie and Suit Topics, that reinforces the wider ClothingTopic already present in the Cancellation, because of the strange way in which the kid is dressed.

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.

Topics:

Issue:

As Main Topic: The Personality of José Gervasio Artigas is clearly the main topic of this Special Cancelation, as it was and will be of the whole stamps of the Permanent Serie that commemorate the 250th Anniversaryof his Birth. This Special Cancelation could be a seen as a an additional Release of this Permanent Serie.

Then, the personality of José Artigas could be included in wider Topic as Uruguayan Personalities, or Uruguayan Militars, and of course in one dedicated to National Heroes.

Then, surrounding the main topic, could be found the followings: The first that cames to our mind is History, in particular the History of Southamerica, focus on the Emancipation of Southamerica, or the Liberty of Southamerica, or the Spanish American wars of independence, as José Gervasio Artigas was one of the most notorious figures of that Emancipation. Also the Ideologies associated with him, as Federalism and Liberalism, even a last one centred on his figure called Artiguism, are clearly represented in this stamp. Finally, by his great labour in the Uruguayan Army, Militariais another topic directly associated with this issue.

Now, regarding the desing of the Special Cancelation:It mainly reinforces the Topics related to his Ideologies, in particular Federalism, with the inclusión of the text: "Unión de los pueblos libres", that in english means "Union of the Peoples in Freedom".

 Also, it connect the release with Sauce City, a small city located on Km. 36 of Route 6 and its intersection with Routes 67, 86 and 107, now part of the wider metropolitan area of Montevideo, as it name is included in the Cancellation, probably alleging that in Sauce City was born José Artigas, however, most of the historians consider that surely he born in the City of Montevideo, in the other house of his family that was placed in the intersection of the streets that now are called "Cerrito" and "Colón".

Finally, the design, add in the cancellation the Uruguayan Bicentenary Logo, the one created in 2011 to be the image of the Uruguayan Bicentenary, used in all the events done to it Celebration. The Logotype consist in a simple Ribbonthat resembles the Flag of Uruguay, and the Flag of Artigas, making this release interesting for Biccentenaries and Flags Topics. This Logo was the Main Topic of the first Release of 2011, and also was included in many later releases of this year that commemorated different relevant events in the building of Uruguay, as an Independent Country.

Finally, in a more symbolic way:The inclusion of the text: "Unión de los pueblos libres", from my point of view, seeks to expand the relevance of José Artigas Personality, to put in him as a South-American Leader, and not only as the Uruguayan National Hero.  

Stamps selection:

The stamps selected were:Naturally, Two of the ones from the Permanent Serie of 2014 with the exact topic. The ones selected from that Permanent Serie were The Light blue one of postage value UYP 15 + 2, and The Green one with postage value $10.

Then, to complete the postage value for the Non Sent Version of the Cover, and the registered postage value for the Sent of First Day Version one, another stamps of the same Permanent Serie were selected.
 
The reason for selecting these stamps was:That they match exactly with the Cancelation Topic, as both, the stamps from the Permanent Serie, and the Cancelation being described here, were released commemorating the same.

Although there were other options of stamps to be selected, as many stamps shows the figure of José Artigasin his design, I considered that the Full Topic Matchcharacteristic of the selected ones, weighted more than Diversity that selecting another release could provide.

Then, the Selection of these particular stamps from all of the Permanent Serie was due to they are the ones with lower value, and also the inclusion of the Semi-Postal stamp in this choice I found it appropiate.

The selection of this stamps, add the following topics:As already mentioned, both, the stamps from the Permanent Serie, and the Cancelation being described here, were released commemorating the same, so the stamps mainly reinforces the Topics that already exist in the Cancelation.

However, the inclusion of the Semi-postal stamp or Charity Stampof the Permanent Serie, add not only this Type of StampsTopics, that, as the "Escuela Horizonte", a Special School, dedicated to the Care of children and youthswith Cerebral Paralysisin their most compromised levels, is the Institution that will receive the 2 UYP added value of this Stamp, also the Health and Handicapped, and even Educationare new Topics added by the selection of this stamp.

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.

Topics:

Issue:

As Main Topic: could be considereded Philatelyitself, or History of Philately, perhaps also Classical Stamps, and inside that topics, in particular Uruguayan History of Philately, and Uruguayan Classical Stamps.

Then, surrounding the main topic, could be found the followings: Undoubtely the Coat of Arms Uruguay, as is the Main Topic of the Classical Stamps whose anniversary is commemorated, and with this the wider Coat of Arms topic too.

The Coat of Arms of Uruguayis popular in the world of Philatelybecause it has in his escutcheon items that fit in Collections with a high number of followers, surely being the Lighthousesthe most looked for one, as it has the Lighthouse of the "Cerro de Montevideo" in it. The others are Horses, Cows, Ox or a wider Animals or Farm Animals, and even Scalesand a wider Instruments of Measureare Topics that the escutcheon of the Coat of Arms of Uruguayhas. Besides these direct Topics related to the items in the stutcheon, there are also the Topics that these items symbolize, that are: Power or Strength, by the Fortress, then, Liberty by the Horse, Abundance by the Ox, and finally Equality and Justice by the Scale.

However, not only in his escutcheon one could find topics, outside it there are some more like: The Sun, or Stars, both inside a wider Spaceor Astronomy, and in particular this Sun, The "Sun of May", a national emblem of Argentinaand Uruguay, that also appears in some other flags, has his root in the French Revolution, the Freemasonry, and even in the Christianism. Then, outside the estutcheon too, there are two branch with leaves, one of Laurus nobilis, an aromatic evergreen Treeor large Shrubwith green, glossy leaves, native to the Mediterranean region, one of the plants used for bay leaf seasoning in cooking, known as Bay Laurel, Sweet Bay, Bay tree (esp. United Kingdom), True Laurel, Grecian Laurel, Laurel Tree or simply Laurel, and the other one of Oliveor Olea europaea, a species of small Treein the family Oleaceae, found in much of Africa, the Mediterranean Basin from Portugal to Israel, the Arabian Peninsula, and southern Asia as far east as China, plus the Canary Islands, Mauritius and Réunion, species cultivated in many places and considered naturalized in France, Corsica, Crimea, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Java, Norfolk Island, California and Bermuda, so it fit also in Floraor VegetablesTopic.

Then, in particular, the Coat of Arm of Uruguay included in The "Escuditos"Stamps, was the first version of it that also includes many Flags of Uruguay, a Caduceus, the staff carried by Hermesin Greek Mythology, the same staff was also borne by heralds in general, for example by Iris, the messenger of Hera, a short staff entwined by two Serpents, sometimes surmounted by Wings, also has Swords, Canyons, and a Trumpet, so Weapons, Musical Instruments, and Militarywere topics included in it design too.

As an anecdote, the stamps being commemorated with this Special Cancelations, The "Escuditos", in english,Little Coat of Arms, are known as the First stamps worldwide in the Lighthouse Topic, making the Lighthouse of the "Cerro de Montevideo" the First Lighthouse to be shown in a Stamp, and surely The one that has been included more times in stamps, as there are hundred of stamps issued by Uruguayan Post Office that includes the Coat of Arms of Uruguay in his design, and also there are many more stamps that includes the "Cerro de Montevideo" in it, as it is a Traditional View of Uruguay.

In the same way, it would be interesting to know if these stamps, The "Escuditos",are also the first stamps in the other topics mentioned, as being issued on April 13th, of 1864, they have a high probability to be the first in most of these topics.

Finally, another topic that could be spotted is the 150th Anniversary.

Now, regarding the desing of the Special Cancelation:As the Cancelation consists only in a reproduction of the "06 centésimos" value of The "Escuditos"Series, and some Legends about the Anniversary, it neither add new Topics nor reinforces any of the Topics previously mentioned.

Finally, in a more symbolic way:The decision of release this Special Cancelation, not only guide us to the History of Uruguayan Philately, that also made us to review the  History of Uruguay. Then, the Coat of Arms always evokes Nacionalism, could be Miltiariatoo, and of course Heraldry.

Stamps selection:

The stamps selected were: a stamp released in 2006 about the 150th Anniversary of the First Uruguayan Stamp, and then a series of two stamps issued in 2002 commemorating the Bicentenary of the Lighthouse in the "Cerro de Montevideo".

The reason for selecting these stamps was:inspired by two completely different things.

For the first, the selection of the Stamp is aproached by the Philately Topic, and through this vision, the existence of a Stamp that commemorate also the 150th Yearsof another Classical Stampwas very convenient to make a consistent stamp choice for this cancelation.

The second one selection is guided from the optic of the most popular topic in the Special Cancelation Release that is the Lighthouses Topic. So, following this guide, the beautiful two stamp series of 2002 about the Bicentenaryof the same Lighthousethat is included in the Coat of Arms of Uruguay shown in the Cancelation, was a nicely connected serie to decorate the cover for this Special Cancelation.

The selection of this stamps, add the following topics: The first clearly reinforces Philately, and Classical Stamps, as it shows the first Series of Stamps of Uruguay known as the "Diligencias" Stamps, also helps to strength Sunand "Sun of May"Topic, because the main design of these Classical stamps is the "Sun of May", then, as the "Diligencia" means Stagecoach, not only includes this Topic, with the wider Transportsalso, that it reinforce the HorseTopic too. Finally, another Minor topic that is reinforced is 150th Anniversarytoo.

Then, the second series reinforces intentionally the Lighthouse Topic, and in particular theLighthouse of the "Cerro de Montevideo" Topic. Then it adds the Bicentenarytopic, also Soldiersand WeaponTopics are added because they appear in the first Stamp of the Series, both reinforcing MilitariaTopic. Finally the second stamp of the serie reinforces the Uruguayan Coat of Arms Topic, as it appears over the door of the Lighthouse, strengthening all the Topics that this Coat of Arms has, as already mentioned in previous paragraphs.

Issue:

As Main Topic: could be considereded Philatelyitself, or History of Philately, perhaps also Classical Stamps, and inside that topics, in particular Uruguayan History of Philately, and Uruguayan Classical Stamps.

Then, surrounding the main topic, could be found the followings: Undoubtely the Coat of Arms Uruguay, as is the Main Topic of the Classical Stamps whose anniversary is commemorated, and with this the wider Coat of Arms topic too.

The Coat of Arms of Uruguayis popular in the world of Philatelybecause it has in his escutcheon items that fit in Collections with a high number of followers, surely being the Lighthousesthe most looked for one, as it has the Lighthouse of the "Cerro de Montevideo" in it. The others are Horses, Cows, Ox or a wider Animals or Farm Animals, and even Scalesand a wider Instruments of Measureare Topics that the escutcheon of the Coat of Arms of Uruguayhas. Besides these direct Topics related to the items in the stutcheon, there are also the Topics that these items symbolize, that are: Power or Strength, by the Fortress, then, Liberty by the Horse, Abundance by the Ox, and finally Equality and Justice by the Scale.

However, not only in his escutcheon one could find topics, outside it there are some more like: The Sun, or Stars, both inside a wider Spaceor Astronomy, and in particular this Sun, The "Sun of May", a national emblem of Argentinaand Uruguay, that also appears in some other flags, has his root in the French Revolution, the Freemasonry, and even in the Christianism. Then, outside the estutcheon too, there are two branch with leaves, one of Laurus nobilis, an aromatic evergreen Treeor large Shrubwith green, glossy leaves, native to the Mediterranean region, one of the plants used for bay leaf seasoning in cooking, known as Bay Laurel, Sweet Bay, Bay tree (esp. United Kingdom), True Laurel, Grecian Laurel, Laurel Tree or simply Laurel, and the other one of Oliveor Olea europaea, a species of small Treein the family Oleaceae, found in much of Africa, the Mediterranean Basin from Portugal to Israel, the Arabian Peninsula, and southern Asia as far east as China, plus the Canary Islands, Mauritius and Réunion, species cultivated in many places and considered naturalized in France, Corsica, Crimea, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Java, Norfolk Island, California and Bermuda, so it fit also in Floraor VegetablesTopic.

Then, in particular, the Coat of Arm of Uruguay included in The "Escuditos"Stamps, was the first version of it that also includes many Flags of Uruguay, a Caduceus, the staff carried by Hermesin Greek Mythology, the same staff was also borne by heralds in general, for example by Iris, the messenger of Hera, a short staff entwined by two Serpents, sometimes surmounted by Wings, also has Swords, Canyons, and a Trumpet, so Weapons, Musical Instruments, and Militarywere topics included in it design too.

As an anecdote, the stamps being commemorated with this Special Cancelations, The "Escuditos", in english,Little Coat of Arms, are known as the First stamps worldwide in the Lighthouse Topic, making the Lighthouse of the "Cerro de Montevideo" the First Lighthouse to be shown in a Stamp, and surely The one that has been included more times in stamps, as there are hundred of stamps issued by Uruguayan Post Office that includes the Coat of Arms of Uruguay in his design, and also there are many more stamps that includes the "Cerro de Montevideo" in it, as it is a Traditional View of Uruguay.

In the same way, it would be interesting to know if these stamps, The "Escuditos",are also the first stamps in the other topics mentioned, as being issued on April 13th, of 1864, they have a high probability to be the first in most of these topics.

Finally, another topic that could be spotted is the 150th Anniversary.

Now, regarding the desing of the Special Cancelation:As the Cancelation consists only in a reproduction of the "06 centésimos" value of The "Escuditos"Series, and some Legends about the Anniversary, it neither add new Topics nor reinforces any of the Topics previously mentioned.

Finally, in a more symbolic way:The decision of release this Special Cancelation, not only guide us to the History of Uruguayan Philately, that also made us to review the  History of Uruguay. Then, the Coat of Arms always evokes Nacionalism, could be Miltiariatoo, and of course Heraldry.
