British Indian Stamps-II

  Coming to Victorian regime on India, post withdrawal of East Indian control brought series of British Indian stamps bearing heads of Queen Victoria (although the previous stamps used to carry Queen Victoria head), followed by King Edward VII, George V and George VI 's heads on various denominations of British Indian stamps ( in order of their crowning).

Queen Victoria (Post 1857)
King Edward VII

King George VI


Interested readers may refer to the Wikipedia link on British Raj in India ('Raj' for Rule in Hindi).

In my next post, I shall be writing about few of my important personal collection of British Indian stamps.

Till then...Happy collecting :)
