Costa Rica

Not a specific volcano but rather cartoons of three volcanoes representing the three mountain ranges of Costa Rica.

The stamps below were issued in 1942 on September 25th.

They illustrate the "Torch of Freedom", "Victory" and flags of American Nations.

The three mountain ranges are perhaps better seen on the next air mail stamp issued in 1971

Stamp coutesy of Ed Benson

The next shows the three volcanoes on an official overprint of 1892
