Oito Novas Paisagens de Macau (Maximum Cards) (set of 8)
The title, captioned in Portuguese and Chinese, translates as “Eight new landscapes of Macau,” and indeed they are. This is a desirable set, CTT’s BPL 248-255, and our scan shows four of the eight views. Because this is a bit more substantial than some other sets, we will list what’s on each card here: Colina de Penha, Dois Lagos e Uma Torre, Largo do Senado, Long Chao Kok, Vila de Pescadores de Coloane, Travesa da Paixao, Rua de Felicidade, and — spectacularly — Ponte Hong Kong – Zhuhai – Macau, one of the world’s longest bridges and utterly unthinkable not so long ago. Issued in 2019, at last something from Macau other than ancient art. Grade: 1
