		<description><![CDATA[This is the second of several issues by the Portuguese Post featuring Prince Henry the Navigator (1394–1460), the major architect of the Portuguese Age of Discoveries. The stamps were designed and engraved by Arnaldo Fragoso, typographed by the Mint on wove and chalk-surfaced paper with perforation 11½, and circulated from 5 June 1935 (15 centavos) and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This first series on fado, the urban popular song traditionally accompanied by the 12-string Portuguese guitar seen on the stamps, features six famous singers frequently included in fado compilation CDs: Alfredo Marceneiro (1891-1982) Carlos Ramos (1907-1969) Hermínia Silva (1907-1993) Maria Teresa de Noronha (1918-1993) Amália Rodrigues (1920-1999) Carlos do Carmo (born 1939) Amália Rodrigues is considered by many as [...]]]></description>

Written by Luís de Camões, The Lusiads (which refers to the Portuguese, the descendants of the Lusitanians, a Celtic tribe) is an epic poem describing several episodes from Portugal&#8217;s history, with an emphasis on Vasco da [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This omnibus issue for the mainland and for the overseas provinces commemorates the birth of Pedro Álvares Cabral in 1467 or 1468. In my opinion, the mainland set, and especially the 6$50 stamp, are among Portugal&#8217;s most beautiful stamps. Little is known of Cabral&#8217;s life, and there are no contemporary depictions of him. He commanded [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is nothing typically Portuguese about this Christmas issue, but I&#8217;ve nevertheless included it in my collection for two reasons: it&#8217;s by one of my favourite stamp designers, and it&#8217;s one of the few printing errors I can afford. In fact, by mistake the country name wasn&#8217;t printed on almost a third of the half [...]]]></description>

One of his best known contributions is the nonius, a measurement system to improve the accuracy of reading angles on the astrolabe for navigation, an important problem during the Portuguese period of Discoveries. Aged 27, he was [...]]]></description>
