Stamps, a miracle of international co-operation
The Western Australian Long swan stamp was printed in 1904 by Waterlow and sons in England to a very high standard that far exceeds the standards of our modern stamps in this photo, this is humbling. The other thing about Western Australian stamps was they used the Black swan on many of their stamps from 1850 or so, this was very unusual in this time in history when most parts of Australia printed portraits of the British royal family on their stamps or scenes from national parks.
