Issued by Venezuela, this striking 25 céntimos stamp features an engraved portrait framed by elegant allegorical female figures and classical ornamentation. The warm yellow-orange shade and detailed line work reflect late-19th/early-20th century Latin American security printing style. Inscribed “Distrito Federal,” it represents postal/fiscal usage tied to Caracas administration. The large format and bold denomination make it highly displayable in albums. A desirable piece for collectors of Venezuela, classic engraved issues, and South American postal history.
