A postcard from Curitiba, capital of Paraná state, showing a view at Praças Anita Garibaldi (Anita Garibaldi Square). Thanks Tarcisio.

This postcard was sent on 4.11.2009 using three stamps. They are R$0,o5 cloth making, R$0,10 trumpet and R$2,20 archaeology stamps. Two round shape Itatiba-SPI postmarks cancelled these stamps. Extra postmarks are found on both sides. On the left is a partially stamped commemorative postmark. While, on the right is a "DH" rectangular postmark. I wonder what is this for.

Another clearer but still not that clear commemorative postmark is found at the bottom of this postcard. 152 Anniversary of Itatiba is commemoratived since November 1, 1857. The issue date for this postmark is 19.10.2009(?).
