The Queen's Own: Stamps That Changed the World exhibition booklet.
The Queen's Own: Stamps that Changed the World is the second in a series of philatelic research publications by the Smithsonian National Postal Museum.
Written by the distinguished American philatelist Thomas J. Alexander, this detailed 36-page booklet is illustrated with a wealth of color photographs, some never before published. Many show objects from Queen Elizabeth II's Royal Philatelic Collection.
The booklet explores the background and implementation of British postal reform, including the first postage stamps, as well as the related story of how U.S. postal administrators adapted those reforms to their larger, more sparsely settled nation. A final section recounts how penny postage was finally adopted for ocean mail between the United States and Britain.
