EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two iconic postage stamps, the Penny Black and Penny Red, dating back to 1850. The intricate ink on paper artwork was created by an English photographer in the 19th century and is now part of a private collection. Preserved within eArchives Charmet, this image captures the essence of Victorian-era communication. The profiled portrait featured on these stamps is none other than Queen Victoria herself, who reigned during this period. These postage stamps hold immense historical significance as they were the first ever issued in 1840. They revolutionized mail delivery systems and made sending letters more accessible to people from all walks of life. The detailed drawing depicted in this photograph highlights the craftsmanship involved in creating these miniature works of art. Each stamp bears its own unique postmark, adding a touch of authenticity to their story. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to an era when handwritten letters were cherished means of connection. This image serves as a reminder that even amidst our technologically advanced world today, there is still beauty and value in preserving traditions that once defined our past.
