Issue:

As Main Topic: Politics could be the more comprehensive one, and in the path of going to more specific ones, one could spot first Left Wing Political Parties, and then Communist Party, later reducing geographically, Uruguayan Communist Party, and finally the Sectional 20 of the Uruguayan Comunist Party, that is the one commemorated in this release, after being declared National Historic Landmark, to Preserve the Memory that this Sectional, 42 years ago, on April 17th of 1972, was Taken by Assault by more than 500 members of Militar, Police, and Paramilitary Forces, and eight Communist workers were cowardly Assassinated.

The eight Martyrs that were Executed in the Assault were: Luis Mendiola, José Abreu, José Sena, Elman Fernández, Héctor Cervelli, Ruben López, Ricardo González and Raúl Gancio.

Then, surrounding the main topic, could be found the followings: The first is Human Rights, and the Fight for Human Rights. Then, could be Criminality, in particular Government Criminality, and also Fascism and Government Terrorism.

Also, History, and more precisely Uruguayan History, or Recent Uruguayan History is a clearly a Topic of this release too.

Now, regarding the desing of the stamp: A complete different topic is included by it, that is Art, in particular Painting, and more precisely Mural Painting.

The Mural shown is the Stamp is the actual Facade of the Sectional 20 of Uruguayan Communist Party, and it was painted in 2013 by the Plastic Artist Alvaro Ortiz, born in the Department of San José of Uruguay.

The Mural of Alvaro Ortiz is plenty of Objects and Symbolism, that makes this release useful in many Topic Collections.

You can easily see a white Pigeon symbolizing Peace, and useful for Birds and Animals Topics.

Also a background of Ears of Wheat that infer Abundancy and Work too, and also it is useful for the Topics of Vegetables, Flora, Agriculture, and even Food.

Vegetables and Flora are reinforced by the Flower shown at the left-bottom corner, that could be placed to bring the Epoch of the Sixties, and the Hippie Ideology or Way of Life.

Then, Music and Music Instrument Topics are included in the Mural with the presence of a Guitar.

At the horizon of the Scene shown in the Mural, there are eight Hands in the Gesture of a Fight Fist, one Fist for each Martyr Assessinated in the Sectional 20. Also, the location of the Fists at the horizon resembles Chimneys of Factories, that gives an additional connection with Work and Industry.

Finally, the scene has his focus on two women, one making a Sickle with a Hammer over an Anvil, being these Hammer and Sickle a clear rererence to the Communist Party, and the other women carrying a Lantern, probably symbolizing the Search for Justice, Human Rights, and Equality, and also making the release useful for a Collection about Fire.

The scene also has Paintbrushs to establish the importance of Art in the Welfare of a Community, Books to add a Link to the need of Education to build a Society, and Wrenches, Spanners and Nuts surely to Symbolize Work.

Finally, in a more symbolic way: besides all the symbolism already mentioned, I think the big message in this release, is Recognition, is Progress of a Nation in Equality, is Progress in Human Rights, is Honour the Fight for Freedom, Honour the Fight for a better Society, is Preserve the Memory of those who died for our Welfare, to Thank them, to Inspire in us the same Fight that they do.

Block:

The block: as it only shows an iconic design of Hands in the Gesture of a Fight Fist in the proof of colour on the right-top corner of the Block, reinforces the Hands or Fists Topics, or even a wider Human Body Parts Collection, and also could be useful for a peculiar Collection of Gestures, or one about Fight or Symbols.

FDC:

The desing of the First Day Cancelation: It is a rather poetic one, as it nicely represent the eight Workers that were Assessinated by Eight Nuts. This Symbolic Creation was not made by the post office graphic designer, it is part of the Facade of the Sectional 20 of the Comunist Party, and it is placed at the left of the part of the portion of it that is shown in the Stamp. This Nuts honouring the Martyrs were not created by Alvaro Ortiz, the Artist that mades the actual Mural that is shown in the Stamp, as they already exist before 2013, the moment in which this Mural was painted.

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.

Issue:

As Main Topic: Undoubtedly the personality of Luisa Cuesta is the Main Topic of the stamp, however, her life and Fight, sure put this release in Human Rights related Topic, and also by the annual serie in which is included, it could be tackled by the Women Topic, or Women Personalities, from a wider Personalities.

Then, surrounding the main topic, could be found the followings: The most direct one is the Civic-military dictatorship of Uruguay (1973–1985) , that was in these context that the son of Luisa was captured and still missing, and the fight for knowing his faith was and still, is her main activity. This dictatorship could be part of a wider Uruguayan coup d'états, or even wider Coup d'états, and also even wider than these, Uruguayan History, Southamérica History, and the widest one History, in particular this case the Plan Condor, or Operation Condor, a campaign of Political repression and Terrorism involving intelligence operations and assassination of opponents, officially implemented in 1975 by the Right-wing dictatorships of the Southern Cone of South America, aided by United States providing technical support and supplying military aid to the participants. The program was intended to eradicate communist or Soviet influence and ideas, and to suppress active or potential opposition movements against the participating governments. Also, by it horrible consecuences, Militaria is a topic related too, and in its unhuman use Politics, and Power. Then, in a more indirect way Geographical Topics, like the City of Mercedes, the capital and largest city of the Department of Soriano in Uruguay, because is where Luisa Cuesta lived before the lost of his son Nebio Ariel Melo, and Netherlands or Holland, because is were she received Asylum. Also International Associations like: "Federación de Agrupaciones de Familiares de América Latina", or local ones like "Asociación de Familiares de Uruguayos Desaparecidos (AFUDE)", and "Madres y Familiares de Uruguayos Detenidos-Desaparecidos". Finally, by her recognitions, the topics: Illustrious Citizen of Montevideo or Distinguished Citizen of Montevideo, as well as Doctor honoris causa of UDELAR, the Uruguayan University, could be added too.

Now, regarding the desing of the stamp: As it is mainly a close-up Picture, taken by the Photographer Martha Helena Passeggi, of Luisa Cuesta, that with her 93 years at the moment of the release, the stamp could be a nice item for an Old Ladies collection, or Old age one, where White Hair or Grey Hair could be spotted too, and also her Eyeglasses could be useful in some collections about this partial Vision Disability. Then, the other item to spot is the Sign of Female Gender, perhaps useful for a wider Signs.

Finally, in a more symbolic way: The stamp enforces the Fight for Human Rights, for the Known of Truth, for Justice, and Against Terrorism

Block:

The block: Only reinforces the Topics Sign of Female Gender, or the widers Signs and Females or Women, adding this Sign as the icon selected to show the inks used in printing the Block, and also, as it was done in the stamp, the legend "Mujeres notables", that means Remarkable women, have his 'o' letter replaced by this Sign.

FDC:

The desing of the First Day Cancelation: is the Logo of the Human Rights Association "Madres y Familiares de Uruguayos Detenidos-Desaparecidos" in which Luisa Cuesta participates, that groups the families that have some integrant of them dissapear since the dictatorship of 1975. The logo has a Marguerite, Daisy, or Ox-Eye Daisy (Bellis perennis), a common European species of daisy, of the Asteraceae family, often considered the archetypal species of that name, and for this reason the FDC is useful for a Flowers, or some wider Plants, Vegetables, Flora Collections.

Finally, in a more symbolic way: The Marguerite with the missing petals could be seen in two ways, one as the dissapeared persons, however, it only, at less for me, symbolizes the Hope, the Unwavering Effort, the Peaceful Fight, that all the people like Luisa Cuesta represent.

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.
