Liberia 1 Cent Postage Stamp with Antelope

This item is a postage stamp from Liberia, bearing a denomination of '1 ONE CENT'. The primary image on the stamp features an antelope, possibly a sable antelope or similar species with prominent curved horns, set against a background depicting dense foliage or tall grasses, suggesting a natural, perhaps jungle or savannah, habitat. The color scheme is predominantly green and shades of brown/grey for the antelope, with a lighter, possibly off-white or cream, background for the stamp border. The word 'POSTAGE' is prominently displayed at the top center, and 'LIBERIA' is written below it within a decorative banner, suggesting its country of origin. The numerical '1' is also visible in the lower left corner. The stamp exhibits classic perforations along all four edges, indicating it was separated from a sheet. The overall condition appears good, with no immediately obvious tears or significant creases, though minor discoloration consistent with age or storage is possible. The printing quality seems consistent with early to mid-20th-century philately, characterized by fine line work and a relatively muted color palette. The detailed depiction of the antelope and its environment speaks to a certain level of artistic and engraving craftsmanship. The stamp is presented in what appears to be a protective album or mount, which contributes to its preservation. The specific style suggests an age likely within the first half of the 20th century, possibly aligning with series depicting indigenous wildlife in colonial or newly independent nations.
