The Art of Postage Stamps Design

The round-up of postage stamps designs from various countries!

Postage stamp design is the activity of graphic design applied to postage stamps. The fist postage stamp was created in 1840 and had the profile of Queen Victoria on it adopted for the Penny Black.

There are certain design elements used to create a postage stamp. Most important is the denomination indicating its monetary value, and a country name required by the international agreements on almost all types of stamps.
