Mexico issue of 1874-1883
A philatelic reference on the Mexico stamp issues of 1874 to 1883, written by Jonathan Brace Chittenden and published in New York by the Collectors Club in 1918 for stamp collectors and specialists. The pictures are plain black-and-white line work: a shield-shaped emblem of an eagle perched on a cactus with a serpent, and a small printed map of Mexico with the Gulf and Pacific coasts labelled. A designer might take from them the restrained engraved heraldry and the sparse, labelled cartography typical of early philatelic publications.
