Stamps of Disability

Brazil

Brazil  - the Federative Republic of Brazil is the largest country in South America. It was a colony of Portugal from 1500 until 1815. Brazil was the second country in the world, after Great Britain, to issue postage stamps valid within the entire country (as opposed to a local issue). Like Great Britain's first stamps, the design does not include the country name.
