This commemorative 2c stamp from Nicaragua (1976) honors the 200th anniversary of U.S. Independence. It features William Pitt the Elder addressing the British House of Commons on 14 January 1766, famously praising the American colonies’ resistance (“Me regocija que Norteamérica haya resistido”). The artwork is based on a painting by K. A. Hickel, preserved in the National Portrait Gallery. Issued as part of Nicaragua’s Bicentennial tribute set, the stamp blends 18th-century political history with international recognition of the American Revolution. A desirable thematic item for collectors of bicentennial issues, historical figures, and North American independence.
