Historical Context
This philatelic cover was issued for the 17th Brazilian Esperanto Congress in 1961, a major event in the promotion of the international auxiliary language Esperanto in Latin America. The congress brought together Esperantists from various countries to discuss the spread and teaching of the language. The envelope design reflects the Esperanto spirit of internationalism with its multilingual greeting. The cover includes the symbolic green Esperanto star cancellation — one of the most attractive thematic postmarks issued in Brazil.

Condition
Well-preserved with some minor toning on the back side. The front is clean and vivid, with bright green and brown inks and sharp perforations. Cancel strikes are clear and crisp.

Shipping & Handling
The cover will be securely packed with protective sleeves and rigid support to ensure safe international delivery.

Customs Notice
Buyer is responsible for any customs duties applicable in their country.

Collector’s Note
An essential item for Esperanto collectors, thematic philatelists, and admirers of international cultural movements. This is a standout piece with both a full stamp block and an attractive layout design from one of the most visually interesting Esperanto philatelic issues produced in Brazil.
