Jamaica · 1945 · 1½d

This set features two definitive stamps issued during the reign of King George VI. The 1½d stamp depicts a banana plantation, a key agricultural export for Jamaica. The 2d stamp shows workers cutting sugar cane, another vital industry for the island's economy. Both stamps include a portrait of King George VI in the upper right corner.

Issued in the final year of World War II, these stamps reflect Jamaica's economic reliance on agriculture and its status as a British colony under King George VI.
