Penny Black Postage Stamp
The worlds first adhesive postage stamp, the penny black, originally worth one penny. The stamp was a runaway success when it went on sale in 1840, allowing people to send a letter weighing up to half an ounce to any destination in the country for a flat rate of one penny. The chosen design used an image of Queen Victoria based on a sketch of her aged 15. The same image remained on stamps for more than 60 years until her death in 1901. Eventually more than 68m stamps were sold.(Photo by Hulton Archive/Getty Images)
