Charles Darwin 2009 - PT

In 2009 we celebrated 200 years of Darwin's birth, and 150 of his most important work 'The Origin of Species'.
The Portuguese post office issued a set with a drawing of Charles Darwin, and important species studied by him.

Because Darwin is so famous, i cant say anything special about him that wouldn't just be a copy of some literature or a biography of his life, so i'll just leave you this picture of the set, that I have added today to my collection in mint condition. There is also a special sheet of this issue. Although i don't have it, here it goes too.
