2023 11 16 An Introduction to the One Penny Line Engraved Stamps of GB

The early 1d stamps of Great Britain are arguably the most significant issue of postage stamps in history. They are also one of the longest lived, with over 20 billion stamps issued over the 4 decade period of their use. While relatively minor changes were made over this period, there is considerable complexity and collecting richness to be found in these stamps. They include the first postage stamps, the first perforated stamps, and among the earliest uses of locational cancellations. Paul Sarjeant's presentation will provide an overview of this 40-year history, touch on some of the many ways in which they can be collected, and explain some of the resources available to learn more about these important stamps.
