Brazil · 1920 ·

This stamp is part of the long-running definitive series known as "Série Vovó" or the Grandma Series. The design features an allegorical female figure, representing the Republic, seated and reading a book to a child, symbolizing the education of the new generation. This series was in use for over two decades with various denominations and color changes.
