November 19, 2017 at 9:00 am #130440ALBKeymasterNext they'll be doing stamps for Bernardo O'Higgins, who led the struggle for Chile's independence from Spain, and President MacMahon of France. Or perhaps they already have. Just checked. They did for O'Higgins:https://www.stampnews.com/stamps/stamps_2010/stamp_1288619010_107115.html
