Camel Postman, Sudan Postage Due

Sudan · 1897 · 1 Millieme

This stamp features the iconic 'Camel Postman' design, a symbol of Sudan's postal service. A robed figure rides a camel through the desert, with the value '1 MILLIEME' and 'SUDAN POSTAGE' inscribed. This is a postage due stamp, indicated by its purpose to collect insufficient postage from the recipient.

Issued in 1897 during the Anglo-Egyptian administration of Sudan, this was the first postage due stamp for the country. The Camel Postman motif became one of the most famous and enduring designs in philately.
