Resumo
Na sequência da Revolução Nacional de 28 de Maio de 1926 e no estabelecimento da Ditadura necessária para instaurar uma Ordem Nova pautada por valores que necessitavam de muitos suportes de inculcação ideológica, com primazia para os visuais, dada a grande taxa de analfabetismo então existente, surge uma imagética do regime que propagandeia simultaneamente ideologia e cultura.
De todas as modalidades que então veiculavam a simbólica representação pictórica de princípios tendentes a formar um homem novo, essencialmente com base na história pátria e na tradição, destaca-se a do selo postal. É pequeno, sintético, artístico, coleccionável e circulante, espalhando a sua mensagem por todos os cantos do mundo. Os selos são, pois, verdadeiros documentos onde se encontram, cristalizadas, não só mensagens, mas também tendências artísticas de uma época, pelo que constituíram um meio privilegiado de cultura, propaganda e ideologia no período do Estado Novo, chegando mesmo a repercutir as políticas praticadas nos mais variados sectores da governação da Nação.
After the National Revolution of 28th May 1926 and in the subsequent establishment of the necessary dictatorship to found a New Order ruled by values which needed many ways of ideological instillation, with primacy for visual ones as illiteracy rate was enormous, a regimen imagery emerges to make propaganda and conveying, at the same time, culture and ideology. Of all the means that at the time conveyed the symbolic and pictorial representation of principles essentially based on fatherland’s history and tradition which led to the formation of a new man, stamps assume a very important role. It is small, synthetic, artistic, collectable and circulating, spreading its message throughout the world. Thus, stamps are real documents where one can find not only crystallized messages but also artistic trends of the time which makes of them a privileged means of culture, propaganda and ideology in the period of Estado Novo, quite often advertising the performed policies on different areas of the nation governing.
