Portugal Postage Due Stamp, Ceres Type
Portugal · 1912 · 1c
This stamp is a postage due issue from Portugal, featuring the iconic Ceres design. The central figure is an allegorical representation of Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture, grain, and fertility, symbolizing the nation's agricultural wealth. The design is framed by ornate scrollwork with the denomination prominently displayed.
Issued following the 1910 revolution that established the First Portuguese Republic, the Ceres series replaced stamps bearing the portrait of the deposed monarch. This design became a long-running and classic symbol of the new republic.
