Hi...Penny Black 1840 is a resource for philatelists and stamp collectors where I can share scanned images of the Penny Black and other Victorian stamps from my own collection with other stamp collectors. After having run work-related websites for years, this one is purely a personal passion!My background was originally in art and design so I've been particularly interested in creating designs for T-shirts that take the Penny Black as a starting point - designs that are both instantly recognisable to the philatelist yet look intriguing and stylish to the non-stamp collector too! Please visit my t-shirt store and let me know what you think at this end of this lens.
I'm currently working on new designs and will add them as and when they're ready.

- Although I don't collect stamps I do like history, and the Penny Black is something special in history. I enjoyed browsing your site.
Keep up the good work.
