India King Edward VII Definitive Series 1902-1911

India · 1902 · 3p to 25r

This definitive series features a profile portrait of King Edward VII, who reigned from 1901 to 1910. The design is a classic representation of British colonial philately, with the monarch's effigy framed by ornate scrollwork and the inscription 'INDIA POSTAGE'. The set includes a wide range of denominations from 3 pies to 25 rupees, printed in various colors to serve all postal needs of the time.

Issued during the height of the British Raj, this series replaced the long-running Queen Victoria issues and was the primary postage used throughout British India during the Edwardian era.
