<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 743448, member: 15199&quot;]If further illustrations are desired, I can provide some photos of my penny blacks as well as some other info as I have a copy of &quot;The Royal Philatelic Collection&quot; which documents the English Royal Family&#039;s stamp collection with notes and info on the various artist,engravers, and printers of the stamps and other information. Rowland Hill also &quot;invented&quot; the postal box, as this cover from 1979 illustrates.</p><p>I realized stamps were engraved ( up to a time), but I hadn&#039;t considered them for this group&#039;s interest.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim</p><p><img src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/rowlandhill2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/rowlandhill.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
