  • British Penny Black, May 6, 1840 by John F
    Historic Events: British Penny Black, May 6, 1840 by John F. Dunn Portions of this article are taken from an article by Philip Ward in the Mekeel’s Weekly of January 1, 1940. History: The Post Office of Great Britain as a state monopoly dates from the time of Queen Elizabeth I, who reigned from 1558 to 1603, although it was not fully established until 1609, and more than two centuries later that Britain became the first nation to issue postage stamps. Great Britain #1 This took place a few years after Queen Victoria acceded to the throne and began her reign of more than 63 years. That year, 1837, was an important one in the events leading up to the issuance, on May 1, 1840 for use starting May 6, 1840, of the world’s first postage stamp, the British Penny Black; for it was in 1837 that the father of the first postage stamp, Sir Rowland Hill, published a pamphlet promoting penny postage and the use of a postage stamp to pay for it. Hill first started showing a serious interest in postal reform in 1835. At that time the need for postal reform was obvious. Not only were the rates complex and the handling of the mail cumbersome—every letter needed to be recorded. In addition, most of the mail was sent unpaid, with the postage cost to be collected from the recipient. At a time when Britain was becoming a far-flung commercial empire, such a system simply did not work. One of those in government who were aware of Hill’s interest in postal reform was Robert Wallace, a member of Parliament, who was a leading advocate for postal reform.

INTRODUCTION. P ostage s t a m p collecting is a fashion not confined to this country, or to a single class ; for collections are frequently to be seen in the drawing-room of the luxurious, the study of the enlightened, and the locker of the schoolboy. The fashion has been ridiculed, as all fashions will be; but if postage stamps are properly studied, collected, and arranged, there is no reason why they may not be quite as instructive and entertaining as a collection of birds, but­ terflies, shells, books, engravings, coins, or other objects. The use and charm of collecting any kind of object is to educate the mind and the eye to careful observation, accurate comparison, and just reasoning on the differences and likenesses which they present ; and to interest the collector in the design or art shown in their creation or manufacture, and the history of the country which produces or uses the objects collected.
