Description
On a black toothless stamp and worth 12 pence, there is a portrait of the British Queen Victoria [2] , made by Sandford Fleming .
The drawing of the brand is based on the work of Alfred Edward Chalon (1780-1860), which captured Victoria during her first public appearance in the House of Lords in 1837. The thumbnail refers to a number of similar brands of British colonies that reproduced this portrait and are known as the “ Chalon head ”.
