A Multicolored Take on the Theme of the Penny Black

The Penny Black was the first postage stamp in the world,

created in Britain in 1840. These cinderella stamps from my

fantasy realm of Cantharidia, are manifestly multicolored,

but take as their prototype this famous Brittanic archetype.

For more information on the Penny Black see:

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:
