Philately
1
Since ancient times, people have been leaving their places of birth and travelling in order to explore far away places. (1) ____ This was when the idea of the first postal service came into being.
Up until the time of Alexander the Great, no one had organised any special way of doing this. Alexander, who had left his lands in the care of his mother, organised a system of couriers to ensure that he received messages from home every day, therefore keeping track of what was going on in his kingdom.
А
It was called the Penny Black and enabled anybody to send a letter anywhere in the country for only a penny.
2
A number of centuries later, the Romans organised an even more efficient network of couriers throughout their Empire. (2) ____ This kept the Senate informed of the progress of their army
Б
Many of them, and especially those who were part of conquering armies, wanted to maintain some kind of contact with their homeland.
3
Many other courier services were established in the years that followed. However, the one we are familiar with today first came into being in Britain on the 1st May, 1840. That was when the first adhesive postage stamp was issued. (3) ____ The illustration on this stamp was of Queen Victoria, who was ruling at the time. This tradition of portraying royalty on stamps has continued in Britain up until the present time.
В
However, most are just happy to develop their collections and join one of the clubs or societies that exist.
4
Later, a second stamp was issued. (4) ___ By 1843, Brazil and the Swiss canton of Zurich had also issued their first stamps. The United States followed in 1847 and by 1860 the majority of the countries in the world had issued their own stamps.
Г
This was called the Tuppeny Blue and also featured a picture of Queen Victoria.
5
These first stamps were not just bought for postal purposes. Some people bought them as souvenirs or because they liked the way they looked. (5) _____ What also became popular around this time was issuing stamps to honour important events. In fact, nowadays, almost every country issues such stamps just for the money to be made from philatelists.
These days, philately, as well as being a hobby, is big business. The buying and selling of stamps for other than their postal use is widespread. The majority of these stamps do not change hands at their face value either. The rarer the stamp, the more expensive it is. For example, in 1856 a set of stamps was issued in British Guyana. At the present time there is only one of these stamps still in existence. At an auction in New York in 1980, it was sold for almost a million dollars.
Ґ
These people can probably be regarded as the first philatelists.
6
This stamp would be the ultimate possession for any philatelist. (6) ___ There, they can get information and catalogues which keep them up-to-date about new developments.
Д
They connected such far away places as Spain in the west to towns on the banks of the Danube in the east.
Е
Australia was the first country to issue stamps with views of a city.
