But just one little thing... the stamps weren't printed in EThiopia... they were printed somewhere in Europe... France or Switzerland... The guy who had the idea to print them was Bitwedded Alfred Ilg... Meneliks Swiss advisor... He set up all the postal system minamin.... Damn, this great guy just doesn't get the respect he deserves! He did so much for Ethiopia!! And he died a broken man, as the envious rases could somehow destroy the trust base he had with Menelik.. His name was even erased out of the chronicle of Menelik, which was written by a certain Guebre Maryam... really sad... BTW, I had a glance at your website… looks good!
