Postage stamps were first introduced in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in May 1840 as part of the postal reforms promoted by Rowland Hill. With its introduction, the postage fee was now to be paid by the sender and the recipient as heretofore, though sending mail prepaid was not a requirement. The first postage stamps, the Penny Black, and two days later, the Two Pence blue, with an engraving of the young Queen Victoria, were an immediate success though refinements, like perforations, were instituted with later issues. Before the use of adhesive paper stamps, letters were hand-stamped or postmarked with ink. Postmarks were the invention of Henry Bishop and were at first called “Bishop Mark" after the inventor. Bishop marks were first used in 1661 at the London General Post Office. They marked the day and month the letter was mailed.
