Dangit. Here in the U.S., we can't get porn on our stamps !  I'm just kidding -- it's a great stamp and story. |

Nice  we don't see much Macau featured on SCF. George Chinnery: Chinnery ran into debt and went to India in 1802 on a ship named Gilwell. He there re-established himself as a painter, but debt prompted a move again in 1825, when he went to southern China. While in China, he mentored Lam Qua, who eventually became a renowned medical portrait painter. He travelled around the Pearl River Delta, between Macau and Canton (now Guangzhou). He had been to Hong Kong after the British founded the city, and subsequently fell ill. He died in Macau in 1852 and is buried in the Old Protestant Cemetery there.  |

I Like those rock painting by our older brothers Daniel, I am not sure if this is true or not, there is supposed to be rock painting by Australian aboriginals somewhere in the centre of Aust, showing a three masted ship under sail. 22crows will like your sheet, I think she collects archery on stamps.

As I am well known in the cheap seats,
I'll keep an eye out for you for the archer then.

That's right Daniel,  I think it represents the masks they wore or their faces painted in thick white ochre, we see from our time. |
