Chalon head
The ''Chalon'' Head is the name of a number of postage stamp series whose illustration was inspired by a portrait of Queen Victoria by Alfred Edward Chalon (1780–1860). These stamps, printed in New York City for the Canadian colonies, and by Perkins, Bacon and Company in London, were issued in many British colonies from the 1850s until 1912 in Queensland. In chronological order, they were released in the Province of Canada in 1851, Nova Scotia in 1853, Tasmania and New Zealand in 1855, The Bahamas and Natal in 1859, Grenada, New Brunswick and Queensland in 1860, and in 1870 in Prince Edward Island. Because these are some of the world's first stamps or the very first stamps to bear these colonies' names,〔In the case of, chronologically, the Province of Canada, New Zealand, The Bahamas, Grenada and Queensland.〕 the ''Chalon'' series are objects of many studies and collections. == Description ==
