Request

To my cover-exchanging friends, please try as much as possible to
(1) WRITE THE ADDRESSES USING YOUR OWN HANDWRITING
as these give a more personal touch to the cover
(2) PLEASE DO NOT USE TAPE OR STICKERS ON THE REVERSE;
the Philippine postal service damages the cover with scribbling that highly devalues the aesthetic value of the cover, which is what I am after
(3) PLEASE TRY TO USE COMPLETE SETS
or at least same themes when sending covers, but it is okay if this is not possible or if this would be expensive, and
(4) PLEASE USE SMALL ENVELOPES,
not too small, but maybe around 4"x6" or something like that; big envelopes are not very attractive unless they have many stamps.
Thank you!

Brasil



This cover from Brazil has 3 of the 6 stamps in the series entitled Zoológicos do Brasil. The set, shown below, was issued on 05 Oct 2007. The three on this cover are the African tiger, the chimpanzee, and the tiger (the regular one I guess?).


The stamp on the extreme lower left showing the shoemaker is part of the PROFISSÕES (or Professions) series issued 19 Dec 2005.


The other stamp on the lower left depicting the trumpet is part of a series entitled Série Instrumentos Musicais issued on 07 July 2002.



The stamps were tied to the envelope at Caxias do Sul, a city in Rio Grande so Sul (RS), Southern Brazil, situated in the state's mountainous Serra Gaúcha region, on 05 Mar 2008.
