1840 Penny Black Reproduction

This reproduction pays tribute to the legendary 1840 Penny Black, the world’s first adhesive postage stamp and a milestone in global postal history.

Its classic black-and-white appearance and repeated engraved-style portraits capture the visual impact that made the Penny Black so groundbreaking at the time.

Ideal for display or as a conversation piece, this reproduction is perfect for anyone interested in the origins of postage stamps and the history of communication.
