Honoring the Unique British Guiana 1c Stamp of 1856

%2313 Inside #26-7: British Guiana #13O

The British Guiana 1¢ magenta is regarded by many as the world's most famous stamp. It was issued in limited numbers in British Guiana (now Guyana) in 1856, and only one specimen is now known to exist.

It is imperforate, printed in black on magenta paper, and it features a sailing ship along with the colony's Latin motto "Damus Petimus Que Vicissim" (We give and expect in return) in the middle. Four thin lines frame the ship. The stamp's country of issue and value in small black upper case lettering in turn surround the frame.

The 1¢ magenta was part of a series of three definitive stamps issued in that year and was intended for use on local newspapers. The other two stamps, a 4¢ magenta and 4¢ blue, were intended for postage.

The issue came through mischance. An anticipated delivery of stamps never arrived by ship in 1856, so the local postmaster, E.T.E. Dalton, authorised a printer, Joseph Baum and William Dallas, who were the publishers of the Official Gazette newspaper in Georgetown, to print out an emergency issue of three stamps. Dalton gave some specifications about the design, but the printer chose to add a ship image of his own design on the stamp series. Dalton was not pleased with the end result, and as a safeguard against forgery ordered that all correspondence bearing the stamps be autographed by the post office clerks. This particular stamp was initialed E.D.W. by the clerk E.D.Wight.

Lou wrote: I just noticed you are missing these, and they are among my favorite discoveries-- one, because the sos is unusual, in that it is a grey-tone image "hidden" in the background, and second, because it also includes a commemorative cancel which I also collect, and three, because I was able to find a cover with the stamp and cancel to show with the s/s.

Lou wrote: The designer used the actual photograph from the Auction catalogue, with what looks like pieces of a stamp hinge on the surface of the stamp, so I am sending a scan of that photo.

I was at the auction and was able to look at the front and back of the stamp for the first time. I had seen it before several times, the last time in 1986. I was able to examine it at my leisure before the actual auction and the stamp was very worn and much more faded since the last time I saw it. The sale itself was very low-keyed--no excitement-- and was over in less than seven minutes.  Still, I was glad I went.
