This striking 60c red stamp from Ethiopia, issued in 1931, features a detailed depiction of two boatmen navigating Lake Tana, the source of the Blue Nile. At the upper right is a finely engraved portrait of Emperor Haile Selassie I, Ethiopia’s iconic monarch and reformer. The design captures both Ethiopia’s natural beauty and its proud leadership during a period of modernization. Printed with “SUR LE LAC TANA” inscription, it reflects the French influence in Ethiopian postal issues of the era. A highly collectible piece for those specializing in African, thematic watercraft, or Haile Selassie philately.
