Newfoundland : Prince of Wales, Issue as Part of Queen Victoria Diamond Jubilee 1897
Newfoundland 1897 Scott #78 / SG #83 - Olive Green, a very young Prince Edward called David (later King Edward VIII) as a child.
Stamp Number NW 78
Yvert et Tellier NW 63
Michel NW 61
this is the very first stamp portrait of Edward, first son of George and "May". Edward was King of the United Kingdom from January 20,1936 until his abdication on December 11, 1936. Edward (1894-1972) had been Prince of Wales since his sixteenth birthday, and had been next in line for the throne for 42 years.
Issues of 1897-1901
The first commemorative Newfoundland stamps were issued during 1897 to mark two very important anniversaries. The year also saw the introduction of a more modernistic series of pictorial definitive postage stamps featuring members of the British Royal Family.
The big events of 1897 were the 60th Anniversary of the Reign of Queen Victoria and the 400th Anniversary of the discovery of Labrador and Newfoundland. The 14 impressive looking commemorative Newfoundland stamps shown directly below were issued onJune 24, 1897 to commemorate both of these anniversaries.
