Thus the United Kingdom remains the only country in the world to omit its name on postage stamps the monarch's image signifies the United Kingdom as the country of origin. The first postage stamps did not need to show the issuing country, so no country name was included on them.

Within three years postage stamps were introduced in Switzerland and Brazil, a little later in the United States, and by 1860, they were in 90 countries around the world. On, the Penny Black, the first adhesive postage stamp, was issued in the United Kingdom. Because collectors often buy stamps from an issuing agency with no intention to use them for postage, the revenues from such purchases and payments of postage can make them a source of net profit to that agency. The item is then delivered to its addressee.Īlways featuring the name of the issuing nation (with the exception of the United Kingdom), a denomination of its value, and often an illustration of persons, events, institutions, or natural realities that symbolize the nation's traditions and values, every stamp is printed on a piece of usually rectangular, but sometimes triangular or otherwise shaped special custom-made paper whose back is either glazed with an adhesive gum or self-adhesive.īecause governments issue stamps of different denominations in unequal numbers and routinely discontinue some lines and introduce others, and because of their illustrations and association with the social and political realities of the time of their issue, they are often prized for their beauty and historical significance by stamp collectors whose study of their history and of mailing systems is called philately.

The item is then processed by the postal system, where a postmark or cancellation mark-in modern usage indicating date and point of origin of mailing-is applied to the stamp and its left and right sides to prevent its reuse.
