The Stamps of Queen Victoria Miniature Sheet
Catalogue code
MZ216
The Miniature Sheet captures intimate portraits of Queen Victoria to create a striking souvenir offering a glimpse into the life of Britain’s longest-reigning monarch of the 19th century
Four First Class stamps feature rarely seen photographs of Queen Victoria.
Inspired by Queen Victoria’s personal love of photography, this elegant miniature sheet presents a rare glimpse into the life of Britain’s longest-reigning monarch of the 19th century.
The sheet features four evocative First Class stamps, each drawn from period photographs capturing Victoria at different stages of her reign — from a young queen in the 1850s to the dignified matriarch of an empire in her later years.
The stamps are set against a sepia-coloured backdrop with an enlarged portrait of Queen Victoria framed in a decorative border that reflects the artistry of the age.
