Jardim Zoologico e d'Acclimacão em Portugal, Second series share for 20 reis, Lisbon 188[904], #484, beautiful border depicting bears, zebras, lions, elephants and other exotic animals, black, embossed seal at top. The first Zoo in Portugal, formed in 1884. By the early 1890's, facing financial difficulties the Zoo was reduced in size and sold many of its animals. In 1905 the zoo relocated to Quinta das Laranjeiras and gradually grew in size, taking numerous donations of new species, but this stopped during the Carnation Revolution in the 1970's and the zoo was again in crisis. It was revived once more by investment from both public and private parties, and is hugely successful today. Pin holes at top and small tear to left edge, otherwise GVF.
