Victoria 

Have you seen ITV’s Victoria programme? Well now seems as good a time as any to take a fresh look at some Victorian stamps. Victorian being the key word here or perhaps even a diversion on my part. For below we see a stamp of Queen Victoria from…2011

 

Victoria (SG 3228)

 

It is part of a Kings and Queens series that was released as presentation packs. The series features the monarchy through the ages including the Tudors, Stuart and Windsors. This set focuses on the House of Hanover.

The House of Hanover Presentation Pack (SG 3223-3229)

There are stamps featuring King George I all the way through to Queen Victoria. There is even a penny black stamp and one of the first Prime Minister Robert Walpole. I know there are a lot of avid Victorian stamp collectors out there but I wonder if the 2011 set may have slipped your notice? (Yes…I know, not Victorian…but ‘of Victoria’!) It is a well presented pack and looks great along side the other presentation packs in the Kings and Queens series.
