Description
An account of the resource
This poster stamp was issued by Gaston Fontanille under the pseudonym "Delandre." Fontanille used a variety of pseudonyms to produce almost countless cinderella and poster stamps, books, catalogs, posters, and other materials—sometimes under legitimate contract but often fraudulently.<sup>1</sup><br /><br />The stamp reproduces the woodcut portrait of Dante found in the 1521 Venice edition of his <em>Convivio</em>.<sup>2</sup> The text refers to the second anniversary of the bombardment of Ancona, Italy: "XXIV Maggio MCMXV / Secundo [<em>sic</em>] / Anniversario / XXIV Maggio MCMXVII" (May 24, 1915, second anniversary, May 24, 1917).<br /><br />Kiddle and Schmidt catalog two versions, one printed in green and brown on white paper and one printed in red and black on gray paper.<sup>3</sup>
