In honour of Queen Victoria Britain’s longest-reigning monarch of the 19th century and a defining figure of the modern age Royal Mail presents a new issue of special stamps and collectibles that celebrate the pioneering spirit and enduring elegance of Victorian philately.

Curated in partnership with The Postal Museum, the set brings together eight of the most iconic stamps from her reign. Among them is the Penny Black of 1840, the world’s first adhesive postage stamp, alongside classics such as the Twopenny Blue, Penny Red, and the distinctive ‘Jubilee’ issue of 1887. Together, they chart the evolution of design and innovation that helped revolutionise global communication.

Accompanying the main set is a miniature sheet inspired by Queen Victoria’s personal passion for photography. Featuring four evocative portraits of the monarch, it offers a rare and intimate glimpse into the life and image of a queen whose likeness became emblematic of an empire.
