The Firat Stamps.
The first issue of stamps for the Colony made its appearance in 1802 during the Governorship of Sir Hercules
Robinson. Dissatisfied with the state of local postal affairs he suggested to the Home Govern- ment that the general use of Eng lish stampą be authorised and made a requisition for a quantity of the different values necessary. This idea was disapproved, however, and the suggestion was made that the Colony should follow the example
of other Colonies and have its own issue. Sir Herculen Robinson was secking a solution for a big problem and when this suggestion was make

The greatest interest in the Victorian stamps, from the of the collector, point of view centres round the provisional issues most of which were necessitated by changes in the postal rates owing to the fluctuation of the dollar, and some to the first attempts to change over to a decimal currency. One of these stamps is of special inter- est in that it was issued for usc Ion postcards only. It appeared in two values, 3e and be, some of the latter being later on overprinted THREE for local use.
At times revenue stumps were called into for postal purposes, when higher values were needed.

With these introductory remarks I will pass on to the stamp issues of this Colony. A non-collector looking over n display of Hongkong stamps, more especially of the early Victorians would probably ask himself what special interest the specimens offered. He will find them for the most part uniform in design, the Victorians having con- tinued in use with practically no important variation for 40 years, the Edwardians from 1903 to 1911 and the Georgians from 1912 to the present a period of 20 years.
