Great Britain

Here you will find a selection of old British stamps from Great Britain.

The postal history of the United Kingdom is notable in at least two respects- first, for the introduction of postage stamps in 1840, and secondly for the establishment of an efficient postal system throughout the British Empire, laying the foundation of many national systems still in existence today.

GB stamps are the only stamps in the World that don't have the country name on them. All other stamps issued have the issuing Country printed on the stamp
