Ce vremuri, dom'le, ce vremuri!...

(...) ADDENDA TO MOUNT BROWN'S CATALOGUE OF POSTAGE STAMPS,
Comprising notes, additions and emendations
By C. W. Viner, A. M. Ph. D.

(...) Moldavia

There was a tradition of an early issue of Moldavian stamps. Mr. Brown inserted one in his first edition, but cancelled it afterwards.

This partly surrounds a bull's head surmounted by a star : underneath is a bugle horn, in the volution of which the value is marked : the whole circumscribed by a plain ring, and hand-stamped on tinted paper : 54 paras, green; 81, blue; 108, blue on lilac.
There is a finely-executed forgery of the 1861 issue, 5 par., porto scrisorei.
