In 1989 Brazil issued a souvenir sheet to
celebrate Brasilana ‘89, the international postal exhibition of the
Universal Postal Union. The two major elements of the design are the
Paco Imperial do Rio de Janeiro,
the Imperial Palace, and a panoramic view of Rio de Janeiro from an
engraving by Nicholaas van Geelkerken (Geelkercken) (ca. 1585-1656). (The
