I wanted to share this one with everyone and get some opinions about the stamp, maybe a little history or value.

I don't know much about this Exhibition [yet] but I do know there are at least 15 other colours of this design alone, plus other designs also in many colours.
Some of the colours of this design include Gold and shades of Metallic Green.....very interesting colour schemes throughout.

Nice design.

The printing of Cinderella stamps was a cheap but fun way to bring stamp collectors into the venue. Most countries issued commemorative stamps in conjunction with the fairs and expos. These were just a fun tag along.
Values usually aren't that much. Here is a group I had sitting on my desk.

The Brussels International Exposition (Exposition Internationale de Bruxelles) of 1897 was a World's Fair held in Brussels, Belgium, from May 10, 1897 through November 8, 1897. There were 27 participating countries, and an estimated attendance of 7.8 million people.

The main venues of the fair were the Cinquantenaire Parks and a colonial section at Tervuren showcasing King Leopold II of Belgium's personal property, the Congo Free State. The two exposition sites were linked by a purpose-built tramway.

Just picked up a different color version mentioned by Londonbus. I guess there are still 14 others out there somewhere.

I found a more colorful version of Rod222's varieties at my local stamp club.
