ABOUT THE STAMPS:
This issue is composed of three-stamps setenant and illustrates the trajectory of the 1st South Atlantic Air Crossing. The first and third postage stamps bring elements that represent the city of departure, Lisbon and the city of arrival, Rio de Janeiro: Belém Tower, and Christ the Redeemer, respectively. On the first postage stamp, in addition to the illustration of the Tower, there is also the Vera Cruz caravel. It is also possible to notice the smoky seaplane in the background of the horizon. The middle postage stamp shows the Fairey III-D seaplane flying over the South Atlantic. In the upper left portion there is the drawing of the Order of Christ Cross. The third postage stamp highlights the two pilots framed by an astrolabe, symbol of the first maritime adventures, under the “Route Corrector”, one of the new instruments invented by Gago Coutinho to help the crossing. On the right, the centenary period and the title of the issue, and the illustration ends with an seaplane landing in Guanabara Bay. The technique used was gouache painting on Montval paper.
