The first lighthouse in the 29 May 2029 issue is Bailique Lighthouse. This is a minor lighthouse on the Amazon River. I haven’t found a photo of it and only a general location.

Next is Ilha Rasa Lighthouse.   This lighthouse is the oldest in Brazil and is located on an island south both the entrance to the port of Rio de Janeiro.

On 29 May 2023, Brazil released a sheet of 8 stamps, each featuring a Brazilian Lighthouse. Each of the stamps has an associated postmark. The postmarks are nearly identical but for the location name at the bottom. Rather than trying to fit all the images and information into one post, I will break them down. into four posts to be published over the next few days. You can read more information about the stamps in the Special Postal Issue, Brazilian Lighthouse.

I got a lot of help with this stamp issue with information coming from Jaap Termes, Will Diersmann and Ton Vogelaar. Thanks to all.
