Portuguese Stamps IV-1910 Revolution

An illustration celebrating the newly proclaimed Republic.

On the 5th October 1910 a revolution broke out in Lisbon. By the end of it Portugal would be an, arguably, democratic Republic. At first older stamps were used with the word 'REPUBLICA', meaning obviously Republic, overprinted. These issues lasted until February 1912 when the 'Ceres' issues first appeared.
