Special Letters from Portugal

Stamps and postmark about Art déco, issued on 25 August and arrived only four days later.

Stamps commemorative of Dom Afonso Henriques, first king of Portugal. He made himself a knight on his own account in the Cathedral of Zamora (nowadays, Spain) in 1125. Some years later, in 1143, the Treaty of Zamora recognised Portugal as an independent kingdom.

The envelope bears a special postmark from Zamora.

Both envelopes sent by Pedro (Portugal).
