A new work on the postage and revenue stamps & postal stationery of Imperial India under King George V is being published by the Royal Philatelic Society London.
Indian philately was something the King-Emperor George V took a keen personal interest in. The transition of stamp design and production from the familiar origins with the firm of De La Rue and Co. in London to the creation of the Security Printing Press in India is a process that the King-Emperor would have followed personally. The King-Emperor’s Stamps 1910–1936 tells that story in detail for the first time.
The book comprises 328 pages and will sell in a softback format for £30 (£25 for RPSL members). A hardback copy will be available only by pre-order for £100 (£90 for members). Postage is extra in all cases.
Pre-orders are being accepted now for delivery in late-September 2026. Those interested may visit the RPSL website for more details.
