| Issue details: | This issue of 2 stamps was printed in Spain and presented as a gift to the Bolivian Post (source: Carlos Royuela, La Paz, vice-president Bolivian Philatelic Federation). The text on the stamps confers posthumously the honorific title of 'Perpetual Corregidor of La Paz' to Cervantes.
Indeed, in 1590, Cervantes, living in poverty in Spain, applied for the job of Corregidor or Mayor of La Paz with the spanish King. He didn't get the job but got the title from the Spanish Post almost 4 centuries after his application. | | Technical details: | | | Item details: | | |
