History of Aden Stamps
The first printed Aden stamps are the iconic pictorial and symbolic ‘Dhow’ issue of 1937. These were issued when Aden became a British Crown Colony, having formerly been a Protectorate. De La Rue & Co. printed the stamps that depict a small sailing boat, that were a common sight within the harbour. Later KGVI and earlier QEII issues include many lovely recess-printed pictorial issues. Certain local emirates objected to the image of a British sovereign, consequently State stamps that bear their own Sultan’s image were printed. These States included Kathiri, Qu’aiti, Mayra and Upper Yafa. In 1967 Aden became part of the People's Republic of Yemen. Collectors also enjoy reading the many specialist books written on the subject, including ‘Postal History of Aden 1839 - 1967’ by R.W. Pratt 1985.
