A beautifully engraved wildlife issue from Guinea Española (Spanish Guinea) commemorating Día del Sello 1957.
The powerful African elephant (“Elefante – Elephas”) is rendered in rich sepia tones with classic mid-century intaglio detail.
Issued as a semi-postal (15+5 céntimos), with the surcharge supporting philatelic or charitable causes.
Part of a popular colonial African fauna series, admired for sharp lines and strong naturalistic composition.
A desirable thematic piece for wildlife, elephants, Africa, and Spanish colonial collectors, especially in fresh MNH or fine used condition.
