A Penny Post Stamp From Cantharidia

My micronation of Cantharidia, as I have related in an earlier post,

is modelled in part on British postage stamps. The 'Penny Black' is the

name given to the world's first postage stamp, issued by the United

Kingdom back in the mid nineteenth century.

This stamp has been the subject of cinderella stamps created by other

artists. See this article for an interesting treatment of the theme:
