Thank you, Matthew, for sending this nice cover from St. Vincent & the Grenadines!

The cover was posted in Layou on May 3 and arrived in Graz on May 26, 2010.

The attached stamps were issued on December 16, 1976, January 1, 1996, and May 9, 1974 (from left to right).

The left stamp is part of a set and depicts a Carib stone sculpture dated c. 1510. The middle stamp is part of a set depicting various varieties of the croton species Codiaeum variegatum; it shows the variety Narrenii. Finally, the right stamp depicts a map of Canouan Island.
