Set of 8 stamps honoring Ruben Dario, poet. Exact date of re­ lease not known. The 20c airmail val­ ue presents Poet Dario on the left and the CATHEDRAL OF THE ASSUMPTION, Leon, where he is buried. Above the entrance, between the two towers, may be discerned a statue of THE IMMACULATE CONCEP­ TION. Even though it is a miniature, the halo en­ circling the head of the Madonna is visible. This Cathedral has appeared on hundreds of Nicar­ aguan stamps, however, on these there was no Madonna visible, but a July 16, 1957 issue (Scott 791, C395) does have the statue visible. From this it may be assumed that it was added to the edifice somewhere around 1930. PARAGUAY: (Class 1) Set of 8 stamps reproducing famous paintings issued December 10, 1966.
