Penny Black - the world’s greatest stamp!
Feb 6th, 2009 by fine art dealer
OK, we don’t have one of these babies, but there is an artwork coming that is based on it… You’ll have to stay glued to find out what it is! More details at some undisclosed point in the future…
Historical note: The Penny Black was only used for a year.The red cancellation stamp was difficult to see on the black background. Worse, the red ink could be washed off the Penny Black, so stamps could be reused! The Penny Red replaced it, along with black cancelling ink.
Will we se a Penny Red artwork?
Wait and see!
