the traditional version:

The unscreened version:


The 1917 Próceres - Statesmen series seems to have been printed in screenless photogravure. Some values resemble traditional recess a bit more like the 4c but about most others I have no doubt!

5c Maclovio Herrera:


10c Francisco Madero:

the 5c has a completely different design and there is no name mentioned!
