Featured among the Harugei Malchut [martyrs]: Ze'ev Jacobtinsky [12 stamps from different periods of his life]; Naaman Belkind; Shlomo Ben Yosef; Channah Szenes; Moshe Barazani; Dr. Moshe Marzouk; and Eli Cohen, among others. The end of the album displays the first stamp issued in memory of the Harugei Malchut, designed by Y. Tzim, 1968.
The decision to issue a stamp sheet bearing the portraits of the 20 martyrs was accepted by the Ministerial Committee of Ceremonies and Symbols on 9.2.1982. This was the first time that the Philatelic Service issued a sheet containing 20 different stamps. Quoting the words of the Philatelic Service in the booklet's summery: "As a natural consequence and due to the circumstances of their lives and deaths, in most cases there were not many photographs of the 'harugei malchut' ... pictures of the 'harugei malchut' are painted portraits ..."
The portraits were designed by artist Ruth Beckman of Jerusalem. The sheet was compiled by the designer Aryeh Glazer. Alongside the stamps, in the designated pocket, is a short description of the life and circumstances of death of the subject featured on the stamp.
Booklet: 20x20 cm. The stamps and the booklet are in new condition except for slight scratches on binding.
Four penny stamps with Queen Victoria, from the beginning of the international post.
* One Penny Black stamp from 1840 [from the first series without serration] with a red postmark, and a Two Penny Blue stamps from 1841 with a black postmark. Nicely packaged from "The World's Most Famous Stamps" series.
* Envelope sent in the mail in 1869 with two "Two Penny Blue" stamps and the Orange Penny [4 penny]. Postmarked.
The Penny Black was the first official postage stamp issued by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland on the 1st of May, 1840. The stamp marked the start of reforms to the British postal system and the creation of the postal system that is still being used worldwide. This is considered the first official postage stamp ever. The Penny Black was used for less than a year. It was difficult to see the red postmarks on the black background, and it was very easy to remove the ink and reuse the stamp. Therefore, in 1841, the British Treasury switched the Penny Black for a similar stamp with a red background. The postmark was also changed to black so that it was easier to see and harder to remove.
