Jamaica 1d Llandovery Falls "Arms" Issue

Jamaica · 1900 · 1d

This definitive stamp features a bicolored design with a central vignette depicting Llandovery Falls in St. Ann Parish, Jamaica. The frame is carmine, and the vignette is printed in black. The design is part of the first pictorial series issued by Jamaica, replacing the long-standing portrait of Queen Victoria.

Issued shortly after the end of Queen Victoria's reign, this stamp marked a new direction for Jamaican philately, showcasing local scenery and the colony's coat of arms instead of the British monarch.
