邮票作为邮资凭证于１８４０年由英国人希尔（ＲｏｗｌａｎｄＨｉｌｌ）发明并在英国发行至今已有１００多年的历史。在这方寸之间尽显大千世界的优美景象已成为邮票设计者所追求的目标。早期的邮票设计多以统治者形象或发行国的后形图章为图案，到１９世纪末才有图画出现在邮? Stamps, as postage documents, were invented by Englishman Rowland Hill in 1840 and have been in circulation in the United Kingdom for more than 100 years. In this square between the magnificent world to show the world has become the stamp designer’s pursuit of the goal. Early stamps were mostly designed with the image of the ruler or the posterior chapter of the issuing country. Only the late 19th century did pictures appear in the mail.
