Description: This 1½-penny red-brown postage stamp was issued by the postal administration of Jamaica as part of the definitive series introducing the new monarch, King George VI. Designed with classic colonial framing, the design showcases the portrait of the King facing right inside a central medallion bordered by delicate laurel branches at the base. The top corners prominently frame the "1½d" fraction denomination squares, which are balanced perfectly by a bold, capitalized "JAMAICA" designation banner running along the lower margin. It was expertly printed by the renowned British security printing firm Waterlow & Sons using a crisp, high-contrast line-engraving process.
