A Brief History of Stamps
Mailing letters used to be free for the sender with the postage being paid by the recipient. But after noticing how much money the Post Office lost on letters refused by recipients, English school teacher Rowland Hill suggested prepaid postal stamps in his pamphlet The Post Office Reform in 1837. Three years later the first stamps went on sale in Great Britain. These early stamps featured a likeness of Queen Victoria. The first U.S. Christmas stamps didn't appear until 1962. This year the U.S. Postal Service is expected to print over four million Christmas postage stamps for postal customers.Christmas World: Christmas Stamp History -
