Postal history of Haiti - The first stamps of Haiti


On 1 July 1881 Haiti became member of UPU. This led to the closing of the British and French Post Offices on the island, and Haiti got their own postal authorities and their own stamps. The first issue was the imperforated Liberty Heads and consisted of six values: 1c, 2c, 3c, 5c, 7c and 20c. You can find a detailed description of the issue in the Collectors Club Philatelist Vol. ** No. **.

2c impf. Liberty Head 3c impf. Liberty Head

1c impf. Liberty Head Strip of four 2c imperf. Liberty Heads 5c impf. Liberty Head

7c impf. Liberty Head Pair 3c imperf. Liberty Heads Pair 5c imperf. Liberty Heads 20c impf. Liberty Head

Here you should find a letter 
frankered with the imperforated Liberty Heads

Here you should find a letter frankered with the imperforated Liberty Heads, but unfourtunately I do not own one yet. Can you help me change this situation, please send me an e-mail (henrik.mouritsen@uni-oldenburg.de).
