Stamps Making History
Innovations in Postal Services and Technology – both Production and
Mail Handling – have given us a steady stream of changes in the
printed design, production processes, paper, watermark, color,
perforations and other features. This presentation highlights some
of the innovative stamps (and other items) that are “First Issues”
showing the changes. The material ranges from the 1840 Penny Black
through the current day.
