These philatelic items represent a specific category of fundraising labels issued to support the seminary located in Zaragoza. These stamps, often colorful and bearing religious imagery, were sold to generate revenue for the institution. As such, these labels are not postage stamps intended for mailing letters, but rather adhesive stamps designed for charitable purposes.
The importance of these stamps lies in their dual function: financial support for a religious organization and a reflection of societal values and artistic trends of the time. Historically, the sale of these labels provided vital funding for the seminary’s operations, including education and maintenance. They also served as a visual representation of the community’s dedication to religious institutions.
