King George VI and Victoria Falls

Northern Rhodesia · 1938 · 1d

This definitive stamp features a dual portrait. On the left is a profile of King George VI, and on the right is a scenic depiction of Victoria Falls, one of the world's largest waterfalls. The design elegantly combines the authority of the British monarchy with the natural grandeur of the Northern Rhodesian territory.

Issued as part of the first definitive series for King George VI's reign in Northern Rhodesia, this set replaced the previous King George V issues and was used throughout the colony until the early 1950s.
