The first postage stamp was released during the reign of Queen Victoria, in England, as part of postal reforms proposed by Sir Rowland Hill.
The first adhesive postage stamp, which showed a profile of Queen Victoria, was called 'Penny Black' and issued in Great Britain on 1 May 1840.
To avoid complex postal calculations, the Penny Black served as proof of prepayment of postage charges.
