Uganda 1902 King Edward VII Definitives

Uganda · 1902 · 1a

This definitive stamp features a portrait of King Edward VII, who ascended to the British throne in 1901. The design is a classic example of British colonial issues of the period, with the monarch's profile set within an ornate frame, inscribed with 'UGANDA PROTECTORATE' and the denomination.

Issued for the Uganda Protectorate, this stamp reflects the height of the British Empire under King Edward VII. It replaced the earlier issues of Queen Victoria and was used for postage throughout the protectorate.
