标题：巴西邮政史(1606-1874)

作者：邮展办

THE EXHIBIT:

This Exhibit shows the Postal history of Brazil from its beginning to 1874.

It is divided in three main chapters:

1 – The Portuguese Post in Brazil (1606-1829)

2 – The Relations with the British Post (1808-1874)

3 – The Relations with the French Post (1815-1874)

Brazil was a Portuguese Colony since its discovery in 1500 and as a consequence the Portuguese Post was the most important for the Country. In fact in 1808 the Portuguese Court settled in Brazil, running away from the Napoleon invasion in Portugal and stayed in the Country for 14 years.

In spite of the Portuguese domain, there was not one country that was free from the influence of both the British and French Posts and their vessels which dominated the transoceanic trips during the nineteenth century.

This exhibit demonstrates the most representative pieces of the Brazilian Postal History. Most of the pieces are not only important for their philatelic value but also their historic aspect.

展品介绍：

本邮集展示了自开始至1874年间的巴西邮政历史。这段历史可分成如下三部分：

1. 葡萄牙在巴西时期的邮政（1606-1829）

2. 与英国邮政的关系（1808-1874）

3. 与法国邮政的关系（1815-1874）

巴西于1500年被发现后即沦为葡萄牙殖民地，这使得葡萄牙邮政在巴西占有举足轻重的地位。事实上1808年葡萄牙皇室为逃避拿破仑一世的侵略而移居巴西，并在那里生活了14年。尽管巴西是葡萄牙属地，但不可避免的受到了英国和法国邮政的影响，两国的轮船在19世纪控制了跨越大西洋的航远。

本邮集展示了巴西邮政史上最具代表性的素材，它们当中的相当一大部分邮品不仅有很高的集邮价值,且颇具深远的历史意义。
