Brazil 1850 'Inclinados' (Slanted Numerals), 30 Réis Black

Brazil · 1850 · 30 Réis

This stamp is part of Brazil's second general issue, known as the 'Inclinados' or 'Slanted Numerals' due to the italicized denomination. The design features the numeral '30' in a simple, elegant oval frame, printed in black. This series followed the famous 'Bull's Eye' issue and continued the practice of using numeral-only designs.

Issued under the Empire of Brazil during the reign of Emperor Pedro II, these stamps represent a period of consolidation and expansion in the Brazilian postal system. The 'Inclinados' were a practical and widely used series, demonstrating Brazil's continued role as a pioneer of philately in the Americas.
