Issued in 1938 under the Portuguese Colonial Empire series, this Mozambique stamp features the Infante Dom Henrique, also known as Prince Henry the Navigator, a central figure in the Age of Discoveries. Designed by Arnaldo Ressano Garcia and printed by Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co. Ltd, it is executed in blue and black through a combination of recess printing and typography, giving depth and precision to the maritime imagery. The design includes a depiction of Prince Henry with navigational instruments, surrounded by commemorations of early Portuguese explorations from 1418 to 1456. Measuring 27 x 36 mm, the stamp is perforated 13½ x 13 and bears the denomination of 1.75 escudos. Catalogued as Michel MZ 310, Scott MZ 283, Yvert et Tellier MZ 339, and Stanley Gibbons MZ 364, it forms part of a celebrated colonial definitive issue that remained in circulation until 1955. Thematically linked to exploration, navigation, and colonial history, it reflects both the cultural narrative of Portugal’s imperial ambitions and the philatelic artistry of the pre-WWII era. Estimate "$25 – 35". Condition: Used, clear postmark, intact perforations, light cancellation, overall good collectible condition.
