STAMPS LARGE AND SMALL
The world's largest postage stamps (intended for use on newspapers and periodicals)
were issued by the United States in 1865. We show a portion of one of them, actual
size; each measures 95 millimetres in height. At the other end of the scale come the first
three stamps of the Department of Bolivar, Colombia, issued in 1863 - it would take
four of them to cover a postage stamp of normal size. Stamp illustrated is actual size.
Such tiny stamps must have been very inconvenient in use, though Great Britain and the
Australian states of South Australia and Victoria each issued stamps of half the
usual 1d size.
