Raul Moreira, Director of Philately of the CTT – Correios de Portugal,provided historical and cultural context for the o cial presentation.As previously mentioned, the idea of the stamp collection originated in the editorial project of a book, with the same title, developed in parallel to the emission of an estimated eighteen stamps.
