This Colombian postage stamp originally issued for the Departamento de Bolívar depicts the Puerto de Cartagena, one of the nation’s most important fishing and shipping harbors. The design, printed by Thomas De La Rue & Co. Ltd., shows moored fishing boats and the historic waterfront of Cartagena. The base denomination of 4 centavos has been overprinted with a bold black “2,” indicating a reduced face value, likely issued during a postal rate adjustment or shortage. The fine engraving and the gradient green frame highlight Colombia’s early mid-20th century craftsmanship in regional definitive issues.
