Brazil 1894 – Sugar-loaf mountain and star
Only the fifth entry on the list and already we have to ask: does this deserve
to be categorized as an astro stamp? The Gibbons catalogue describes the
subject simply as Sugar-loaf Mountain, but there is undoubtedly a brilliant
star in the sky above. Is this perhaps Venus in one of its morning or evening
appearances, or is it a more symbolic depiction of the Christmas Star? Either
way, I have included this largely because it is such an early example.
