「台灣民主國」in 1895

Hi Thomas and Grace,

May I share a news article(below) on 「台灣民主國」stamps with you? It tells me that Taiwan was independent for 81 days in 1895. It looks like the image of Taiwan’s stone tiger( 石虎)is on those stamps.

PS, Thomas, 氏/巾 is a word, 氏在上, 巾在下, 唸「紙」音, It sounds like the translation of “stamp” into the word, “士担?“ then. I can not find that word in my iPad. Maybe you two can find it.
