As there's none, i decided to create this new thread on "Explorers", that (perhaps) moderators could merge with the existing "James Cook" one.

Thank you Steve, I should know this. My question started with wrong thinking that this stamp was being posted FDC in Louisiana and that's where my twisted mind led me to wonder..

REL1948, It's all good and I should've answered in a better way. Because honestly, I don't know what cursus meant regarding the stamp. My only thought was the expedition into the new territory.

Well, this is an explorers' thread. Lewis & Clark, explored the former French Territory of Louisiana. So, they were explorers. That's the reason for the stamp being here. What else, do you need?

We cannot feature explorers without having Jacques Cartier joining in. He first appeared on a Canadian stamp in January 1855. (Unitrade 7). He appeared again in the first cents issue as shown on the far right. (Unitrade 19). My favorite Cartier stamp is the 1934 issue in the centre celebrating the 400th anniversary of his landing in Canada. (Unitrade 208) There are several others over the years.  |
