Issued December 28, 1948, the design of these stamps originates from a little-known painting of Alessandro Botticelli (1447-1510) depicting a scene from the Old Testament where the younger Tobias was accompanied on his journey to the City of Rages by a dog and a heavenly guide, the Archangel Raphael. Mint, never hinged. Very Fine specimen.
