OLD First Adhesive Mall Label Made Its Appearance In 1840 The first adhesive postage stamp made its appearance in Great Britain seventy-nine years ago. It was known as the "one penny black of 1840." Many thousands of stamps have ap peared since then but it would ho hard to find a finer philatelic specimen than the stamp which marked the beginning of stamp history. Few peoplo thought of saving stamps at that time, and would have scoffed at the idea that the innovation would bring with it stamp collectors. The Mulready cover, or envelope, is ' also a British invention, and Is really the connecting link between the old postal service and the postage stamps. It was designed by W. Mulready, 3 A., and made Its appearance in 1840. These covers were In two classes, the one penny blacks prepaid postage on a single sheet of writing paper, while tho two penny blues carried double, or under half an ounce. s Only three British sovereigns' por traits have been pictured on the stamps issued by Britain. The late Queen Vic toria'S portrait appeared on the first stamp, the late King Edward VH'a ap peared during his reign, and todny that of King George V is used. Detroit News.
