GENERAL
MONARCHS OF MONACO AMERICA'S
BY KENT B. STILES
Ten stamps which Monaco has just released ware prepared expressly to direct world attention to the principality's stormy career in the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries.
This is the first time Monaed's adhesives have offered por- traits not contemporaneous with modern times, and to philately's gallery the series introduces the faces of nine persons who re- ceive scant mention, and a few of them no mention at all. in standard reference works..
To discover who they were and why Monaco now honours them, the researcher turns to books relating to Monaco's his- tory.
The nine were Lucien, Honoré II. Louis I. Charlotte de Gramont Antoine I. Marie de Lorraine, Jacques I. Louise-Hippolyte, and Hon-" ore, and their names and the dates of their periods of rule are inacribed. On the tenth stamp (5 francs plus 5 fr.) is illustrated. "le Rocher au XVIII 8'cle" (the Rock in the Eighteenth Century), To the building of this fortress, and of the royal palace which is part of it, some of the foregoing persons contributed during the principality's ceaseless struggle for national, independence in troubled Europe.
