Brazil

Brazil's postage stamp history is as bold and distinctive as the nation itself. In 1843, Brazil became only the second country in the world—after Great Britain—to issue adhesive postage stamps. Known as the "Bull's Eye" issues due to their striking, numeral-based design, these early stamps are among the most prized in philately. From the imperial era under Dom Pedro II to the vibrant republican themes of the 20th century, Brazil’s stamps offer a journey through monarchies, revolutions, modernization, and cultural pride.

This collection showcases Brazil’s unique contributions to postal history—featuring classic issues, overprints, commemoratives, and colorful modern designs that reflect the country’s rich heritage and natural beauty. Whether you're drawn to early imperforates or vibrant 20th-century iconography, these stamps bring the story of South America’s largest nation to life.
