Brief Description:

A brief description of the Most Popular Topics of this Release are: Clearly the Personality of José Gervasio Artigas is the Main Topic of this Release, as it will be of the whole Stamps of this Permanent series.

Then, the Personality of José Artigas also could be included in wider Topics as Uruguayan Personalities, Uruguayan Militars, and of course in one dedicated to National Heroes.

Finally, surrounding the Personality of  José Artigas some Topics arises. The first that cames to our mind is History, in particular the History of Southamerica, focus on the Emancipation of Southamerica, or the Liberty of Southamerica, or the Spanish American wars of independence, as José Gervasio Artigas was one of the most notorious figures of that Emancipation. Also the Ideologies associated with him, as Federalism and Liberalism, even a last one centred on his figure called Artiguism, are clearly represented in this stamp. Finally, by his great labour in the Uruguayan Army, Militaria is another topic directly associated with this issue.

Then, the desing of the Issue is very simple so only the Portrait type of Painting Art Topic is added, as all the stamps from the Permanent Series will have the portrait with a Close-up of the Face of José Gervasio Artigas performed by the Artist Miguel Angel Tuala, based in the work "Artigas en la Ciudadela", an Oil Painting of one of the most worldwide known Uruguayan Painters as it is Juan Manual Blanes.

The difference between the stamps of this Permanent Series will be only the Facial Value and the Colour in which the Portrait of Artigas is printed. In this case the Facial value is 10 UYP, and the Colour selected for this Stamp is Plnk.

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.

Brief Description:

A brief description of the Most Popular Topics of this Release are: Armenian People, the Country Armenia, focused on Armenian History, in particular the Armenian Genocide, as this series commemorate the Centenary of this tragic event in the History of mankind.

Also, this release could fit in Century XX History and World War I Topics, as a rough time location, and the Ottoman Empire, also historically referred to as the Turkish Empire or Turkey, a Sunni Islamic state founded in 1299 by Oghuz Turks under Osman I in northwestern Anatolia, as the perpetuator of this Genocide.

Then, looking more at the desing of the Issue, the focus of it is in The Armenian Genocide memorial complex, also named Tsitsernakaberd, the Armenia's official memorial dedicated to the victims of the Armenian Genocide, built in 1967 on the Hill of Tsitsernakaberd in Yerevan, the Capital and Largest city of Armenia, and one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities.

This Memorial was designed by Architects Arthur Tarkhanyan, Sashur Kalashyan and Artist Hovhannes Khachatryan. The 44-meter Stele symbolizes the national rebirth of Armenians. Twelve slabs are positioned in a circle, representing the 12 lost provinces in present day Turkey. In the center of the circle, at a depth of 1.5 meters, there is an eternal flame dedicated to the 1.5 million people killed during the Armenian Genocide. Along the park at the memorial there is a 100 meter wall with the names of towns and villages where massacres and deportations are known to have taken place. On the rear side of the commemoration wall, plates have been attached to honor persons who committed themselves to relieving the distress of the survivors during and after the genocide (among others: Johannes Lepsius, Franz Werfel, Armin T. Wegner, Henry Morgenthau Sr., Fridtjof Nansen, Pope Benedict XV, Jakob Künzler, Bodil Biørn). An alley of trees has been planted to commemorate the genocide victims.

Finally, besides the Architecture, Sculpture, Monument, Art, and even Fire Topics that The Armenian Genocide memorial complex, includes, the design of both the Block and the First Day Cancelation, also add a Flower, that it shape and colours, this last one seen only in the block, clearly refers to the Flowers known as Forget-me-nots, that are any one of a number of species of Flowering plants in the Genus Myosotis, being the name of these Flowers and explicit symbolism of objective of this release.

Issue:

As Main Topic: The Personality of José Gervasio Artigas is clearly the main topic of the stamp, as it will be of the whole stamps of this permanent serie that will commemorate the 250th Anniversary of his Birth. The personality of José Artigas could be included in wider ones as Uruguayan Personalities, Uruguayan Militars, and of course in one dedicated to National Heroes.

Then, surrounding the main topic, could be found the followings: The first that cames to our mind is History, in particular the History of Southamerica, focus on the Emancipation of Southamerica, or the Liberty of Southamerica, or the Spanish American wars of independence, as José Gervasio Artigas was one of the most notorious figures of that Emancipation. Also the Ideologies associated with him, as Federalism and Liberalism, even a last one centred on his figure called Artiguism, are clearly represented in this stamp. Finally, by his great labour in the Uruguayan Army, Militaria is another topic directly associated with this issue.

Now, regarding the desing of the stamp: It is clear that two topics emerges. The more clear one is the Portrait type of Painting Art, as all the stamps from the Permanent Serie will have the portrait with a Close-up of the Face of José Gervasio Artigas performed by the Artist Miguel Angel Tuala, based in the work "Artigas en la Ciudadela", an Oil Painting of one of the most worldwide known Uruguayan Painters as it is Juan Manual Blanes, accompanied by a quotation from him, so Quotations could be another topic too.

The difference between the stamps of this permanent serie will be, besides the facial value, the colour in which the portrait of Artigas and Quotation is presented, and also the quotation will differ from stamp to stamp. In this case the facial value is 1 UYP, the colour is Blue, and the Quotation is "Sean los orientales tan ilustrados como valientes", that could be translated in english to: "Be the Eastern (Uruguayan People) as learned as brave".

This quotation cames from the Inauguration of the National Library on May 26th of 1816, when Jose Gervasio Artigas, sensitive to the impact of this event in the creation of Uruguayan Nation, ordered that the Watchword of the Uruguayan Army was "Sean los orientales tan ilustrados como valientes".

Finally, in a more symbolic way: The selection of this particular one of the Artigas Quotations, clearly add a link to Culture, Education, Information, of course also Books, Literature, Libraries, and in particular The Uruguayan National Library.

Finally, it is very interesting how José Gervasio Artigas, at that time Leader of the Uruguayan Army, and in a way also Leader of all Uruguayans because of the turbuluent times in which this quotation was coined, could see The importance of have a Cultured People, not only a brave one. He believed in a Nation with people brave to fight, and also an even more important, Aware of why, for, and against whom, to Fight. He did not want a people of followers. He wanted a nation of fully conscious individuals.

Block:

The block: It neither add any other topic, nor reinforce existing ones, as it only shows the inks used in printing the block, and it not use any icon for this.

FDC:

The desing of the First Day Cancelation: Adds the topic Maps, and more in particular Uruguayan Maps, because the First Day Cancelation shows the Map of Uruguay and the Date of Issue of the Release inside it, as it is happening with all the permanent series since 2012.

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: The Personality of José Gervasio Artigas is clearly the main topic of the stamp, as it will be of the whole stamps of this permanent serie that will commemorate the 250th Anniversary of his Birth. The personality of José Artigas could be included in wider ones as Uruguayan Personalities, Uruguayan Militars, and of course in one dedicated to National Heroes.

Then, surrounding the main topic, could be found the followings: The first that cames to our mind is History, in particular the History of Southamerica, focus on the Emancipation of Southamerica, or the Liberty of Southamerica, or the Spanish American wars of independence, as José Gervasio Artigas was one of the most notorious figures of that Emancipation. Also the Ideologies associated with him, as Federalism and Liberalism, even a last one centred on his figure called Artiguism, are clearly represented in this stamp. Finally, by his great labour in the Uruguayan Army, Militaria is another topic directly associated with this issue.

Now, regarding the desing of the stamp: It is clear that two topics emerges. The more clear one is the Portrait type of Painting Art, as all the stamps from the Permanent Serie will have the portrait with a Close-up of the Face of José Gervasio Artigas performed by the Artist Miguel Angel Tuala, based in the work "Artigas en la Ciudadela", an Oil Painting of one of the most worldwide known Uruguayan Painters as it is Juan Manual Blanes, accompanied by a quotation from him, so Quotations could be another topic too.

The difference between the stamps of this permanent serie will be, besides the facial value, the colour in which the portrait of Artigas and Quotation is presented, and also the quotation will differ from stamp to stamp. In this case the facial value is 1 UYP, the colour is Blue, and the Quotation is "Sean los orientales tan ilustrados como valientes", that could be translated in english to: "Be the Eastern (Uruguayan People) as learned as brave".

This quotation cames from the Inauguration of the National Library on May 26th of 1816, when Jose Gervasio Artigas, sensitive to the impact of this event in the creation of Uruguayan Nation, ordered that the Watchword of the Uruguayan Army was "Sean los orientales tan ilustrados como valientes".

Finally, in a more symbolic way: The selection of this particular one of the Artigas Quotations, clearly add a link to Culture, Education, Information, of course also Books, Literature, Libraries, and in particular The Uruguayan National Library.

Finally, it is very interesting how José Gervasio Artigas, at that time Leader of the Uruguayan Army, and in a way also Leader of all Uruguayans because of the turbuluent times in which this quotation was coined, could see The importance of have a Cultured People, not only a brave one. He believed in a Nation with people brave to fight, and also an even more important, Aware of why, for, and against whom, to Fight. He did not want a people of followers. He wanted a nation of fully conscious individuals.

Block:

The block: It neither add any other topic, nor reinforce existing ones, as it only shows the inks used in printing the block, and it not use any icon for this.

FDC:

The desing of the First Day Cancelation: Adds the topic Maps, and more in particular Uruguayan Maps, because the First Day Cancelation shows the Map of Uruguay and the Date of Issue of the Release inside it, as it is happening with all the permanent series since 2012.

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: The Personality of José Gervasio Artigas is clearly the main topic of this Special Cancelation, as it was and will be of the whole stamps of the Permanent Serie that commemorate the 250th Anniversary of his Birth. This Special Cancelation could be a seen as a an additional Release of this Permanent Serie.

Then, the personality of José Artigas could be included in wider Topic as Uruguayan Personalities, or Uruguayan Militars, and of course in one dedicated to National Heroes.

Then, surrounding the main topic, could be found the followings: The first that cames to our mind is History, in particular the History of Southamerica, focus on the Emancipation of Southamerica, or the Liberty of Southamerica, or the Spanish American wars of independence, as José Gervasio Artigas was one of the most notorious figures of that Emancipation. Also the Ideologies associated with him, as Federalism and Liberalism, even a last one centred on his figure called Artiguism, are clearly represented in this stamp. Finally, by his great labour in the Uruguayan Army, Militaria is another topic directly associated with this issue.

Now, regarding the desing of the Special Cancelation: It mainly reinforces the Topics related to his Ideologies, in particular Federalism, with the inclusión of the text: "Unión de los pueblos libres", that in english means "Union of the Peoples in Freedom".

 Also, it connect the release with Sauce City, a small city located on Km. 36 of Route 6 and its intersection with Routes 67, 86 and 107, now part of the wider metropolitan area of Montevideo, as it name is included in the Cancellation, probably alleging that in Sauce City was born José Artigas, however, most of the historians consider that surely he born in the City of Montevideo, in the other house of his family that was placed in the intersection of the streets that now are called "Cerrito" and "Colón".

Finally, the design, add in the cancellation the Uruguayan Bicentenary Logo, the one created in 2011 to be the image of the Uruguayan Bicentenary, used in all the events done to it Celebration. The Logotype consist in a simple Ribbon that resembles the Flag of Uruguay, and the Flag of Artigas, making this release interesting for Biccentenaries and Flags Topics. This Logo was the Main Topic of the first Release of 2011, and also was included in many later releases of this year that commemorated different relevant events in the building of Uruguay, as an Independent Country.

Finally, in a more symbolic way: The inclusion of the text: "Unión de los pueblos libres", from my point of view, seeks to expand the relevance of José Artigas Personality, to put in him as a South-American Leader, and not only as the Uruguayan National Hero.  

Stamps selection:

The stamps selected were: Naturally, Two of the ones from the Permanent Serie of 2014 with the exact topic. The ones selected from that Permanent Serie were The Light blue one of postage value UYP 15 + 2, and The Green one with postage value $10.

Then, to complete the postage value for the Non Sent Version of the Cover, and the registered postage value for the Sent of First Day Version one, another stamps of the same Permanent Serie were selected.
 
The reason for selecting these stamps was: That they match exactly with the Cancelation Topic, as both, the stamps from the Permanent Serie, and the Cancelation being described here, were released commemorating the same.

Although there were other options of stamps to be selected, as many stamps shows the figure of José Artigas in his design, I considered that the Full Topic Match characteristic of the selected ones, weighted more than Diversity that selecting another release could provide.

Then, the Selection of these particular stamps from all of the Permanent Serie was due to they are the ones with lower value, and also the inclusion of the Semi-Postal stamp in this choice I found it appropiate.

The selection of this stamps, add the following topics: As already mentioned, both, the stamps from the Permanent Serie, and the Cancelation being described here, were released commemorating the same, so the stamps mainly reinforces the Topics that already exist in the Cancelation.

However, the inclusion of the Semi-postal stamp or Charity Stamp of the Permanent Serie, add not only this Type of Stamps Topics, that, as the "Escuela Horizonte", a Special School, dedicated to the Care of children and youths with Cerebral Paralysis in their most compromised levels, is the Institution that will receive the 2 UYP added value of this Stamp, also the Health and Handicapped, and even Education are new Topics added by the selection of this stamp.
