Postage stamps and postal history of Puerto Rico : ウィキペディア英語版 | Postage stamps and postal history of Puerto Rico
The postal history of Puerto Rico began years ago when Puerto Rico issued postage stamps jointly with Cuba in 1856. This would be followed by postal cards and telegraph stamps, up until the United States stamps used today on the island as it's a territory serviced by the United States Postal Service (USPS). Puerto Rican stamps have, as one would safely assume, featured matters related to Puerto Rico such as its places, events, works, and personalities. == First stamps and postal stationery ==
The first stamps used in Puerto Rico were joint issues with Cuba but these were not generally used in Puerto Rico until 1856.〔 The first stamps inscribed "Puerto Rico" were issued in 1873.〔Rossiter, Stuart & John Flower. ''The Stamp Atlas''. London: Macdonald, 1986, p.150–151. ISBN 0-356-10862-7〕 Postal cards for Puerto Rico were printed in Spain and sent to their colonies in 1878.〔Littrell, Robert, Ed.; ''Postal Cards of Spanish Colonial Cuba, Philippines and Puerto Rico'', UPSS, 2010; ISBN 978-0-9800112-4-1. Section on Puerto Rico by Byron Mitchell.〕 With the war of Spanish–American War, the United States invaded Puerto Rico and wrested power from the Spanish. For the first time, stamped envelopes became available to the residents of Puerto Rico.〔Krieger, George T.; ''The Postal Stationery of the Possessions and Administrative Areas of the United States of America''; United Postal Stationery Society, 2009, ISBN 978-0-9800112-3-4.〕 Spanish commemorative postage stamp was issued on the occasion of the four hundredth anniversary of Columbus' arrival in Puerto Rico in 1493, issued in 1893 when the island was still under Spanish rule. It is the only colonial-era Puerto Rican stamp that does not bear the face of the King of Spain.
