Great Britain revolutionized the postal system with the introduction of the 1840 Penny Black.  One year later, the ink was changed from black to red-brown.  The result was the “Penny Red.” 

Issued imperforate, this 178-year-old stamp was the third adhesive postage stamp issued for use in a public postal system.  It features two corner letters at the bottom and a portrait of Queen Victoria.


This stamp is in good condition.  Used and attached to paper/envelope.
