Laurel wreath

The first notes that the wreath dates back to ancient Greece & Rome, where members of Greco-Roman society would hand-make ring-shaped "wreaths" using fresh tree leaves, twigs, small fruits & flowers. Worn as headdresses, these wreaths represented one's occupation, rank, achievements, and status

Here's my only wreath so far and some mistletoe for good measure.

Brazil

1963

1v.

Centenary of the death of brazilian actor Joao Caetano (1808-1863)




The image of the stamp was made upon a work of Sébastien Sisson (1824-1869), a french artist that worked in Brazil as litographer and caricaturist in the second half of XIX siecle.
