To the story of the watchmaker who designed this stamp may be add- ed that of the baker's boy who gn- graved a stamp of the Republic of Corrientes, now forming part of the Argentine Federation. In 1856 it was decided by the authorities to {ssue stamps, but they could find no engraver to cut the die or prepare the . plates: While one of the of- ficlals was discussing the situation with the head of the state printing office 'on his veranda ope morning a baker's boy arrived with the datly supply of bread, and, overhearing the conversation, volunteered. to undertake the work, stating that be- fore emigrating to South America he had been apprenticed to an en- graver in Italy. Ultimately the boy was given the work to do, and he turned out a stamp which, although crude, served for all the postage stamps issued in Corrien.es from 1866 to 1880.
