Why is ther a picture of the queen on every stamp?

Queen Victoria was the reigning Monarch of the British Empire when postage stamps were first introduced, so it was a certainty that should would appear on British postage stamps. The "Penny Black" is considered the first ever postage stamp. It was introduced by the British for entirely internal use in 1840. It was called the "Penny Black" because it was black and it cost one penny. The only design was Queen Victoria's head. Other denominations (and colours) were introduced once the idea caught on internationally. The portrait of Queen Victoria was taken from a medal by William Wyon, as adapted in a sketch by Henry Corbould. It was engraved by Frederick Heath and recess-printed by Perkins Bacon & Co.
