Collection: Tristan da Cunha

Tristan da Cunha, the most remote inhabited island on Earth, embarked on its postal journey in 1952 with the issuance of its first stamps—Saint Helena definitives overprinted with "TRISTAN DA CUNHA" . Prior to this, the island used stamps from Saint Helena, Great Britain, and South Africa, and occasionally sent mail without stamps, marked "no stamps available" . In 1954, Tristan da Cunha released its first definitive series featuring local themes, including its rugged landscapes and unique wildlife . These stamps not only facilitated communication but also showcased the island's distinct identity and heritage.
